Jeddah, Solo travel
I've been there to see a friend. The coffee shops are amazing, there's an application for activities really useful and costs are average. The country is really safe and the transportation like uber is not expensive at all.

Been to Dammam, Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, Taif and a few more. Overall it’s extremely safe, comfortable and family-friendly. The activities you can go for is simply shopping, maybe swimming if you feel comfortable, taking photos obvly, trying cafes/restaurants, going safari (desert) etc

Saudi Arabia isn’t one of the most popular destinations nowadays, but I don’t regret going there before tourists rush. Riyadh is slightly more expensive than Dubai and its transportation is only improving. However, ppl are rather friendly and helpful, but you should expect that not everyone has a good command of English like in the UAE. I felt so safe and if anything happens you can always ask for police assistance

The people here in general are good, always happy to help, It may seem strange to them “men”, but they don't do anything wrong, always just be careful for yourself where ever you were, wish for all happy life 💖

Riyadh being the capital is one of the safest places especially for women. Women are highly respected in this country. However in recent times there are notable crimes and theft happening in certain areas of the city and it has d always best to be alert and cautious of your belongings

Overall its safe but try to avoid some areas that are filled by the non Saudi workers (no offense at all but the crim rate there is high). Areas like alazizeah, manfuha, almalaz and haraj. If you face any issues feel free to contact local Saudi male and female they will be happy to assist.
