Is Riyadh governorate safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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

Solo travel

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.

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

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

Fairly 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.
