Lots of things to do if you research what’s on, People are generally nice. It helps to learn some basic Arabic to make it easier to get around as English is not widely spoken. Wearing an abaya is not necessary, any fairly modest clothing is fine. Really expensive, especially for accommodation.

Its safe, the government here are very strict on anything that is illegal and women became the most priority. Everywhere you go you will find people standing with you against anything will happen, cameras are everywhere too
Posted: June 15, 2025Fairly safe, however theft and harassment do happen. I had my phone stolen the first time I came to Saudi. I have been harassed by male taxi drivers. There are female drivers available on some apps but at a higher rate and as there are fewer female drivers available they require a longer wait time, so I advise leaving plenty of time to plan trips. In public places and central areas I’ve experienced very little harassment, however I wouldn’t recommend walking around suburban areas late at night.
