There are the cosmopolitan city centres of Jeddah, the Red Sea port; Riyadh, the throbbing central capital; and Gulf-side Dammam, the large city in the east. All feature chic cafés and top-notch restaurants. For the tourist interested in religion, few other countries are as rich in historical sites as Saudi Arabia. As the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad, Saudi Arabia is home the two holiest sites in Islam: The grand mosque in Mecca and the prophet’s mosque in Medina.
Note that the dates mentioned in the visa refer to Hijri calendar and not the Gregorian calendar. Note that once a visa is issued, it is mandatory for you to reach the kingdom within the specified date, otherwise the visa would lapse.
I would advise first-timers not to stuff items in your baggage unnecessarily. Almost everything is available in the kingdom, which is available elsewhere in the world. Note that electric supply in Saudi Arabia is in two voltages, 220 volts and 110 volts , 60 Hertz frequency. Alcohol and drugs are strictly banned items and users and peddlers face capital punishment. Some travellers from South Asia, bring poppy seeds. Money can be easily converted in Saudi riyals in any of the exchange centers in the kingdom. Temperatures reach extreme during summer and winter, so do come prepared with your personal clothing.
Working in Saudi Arabia is both a challenge as well as interesting, if you are well-prepared mentally.
