Is Hofuf safe for solo female travelers?

Hofuf is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. The local culture is conservative and respectful. Street harassment is rare, but you will need to adhere to local customs including dressing modestly. It's recommended to wear an Abaya on the street, although a headscarf is not necessarily required. Despite the protective social customs, it is important to remain cautious, particularly at night or in less crowded areas. It might be best to avoid taking public transport alone and instead use hotel shuttles or taxi services provided by the hotel, particularly in the evening or at night. Overall, Hofuf is quite safe but awareness and caution should be practiced.
