Jiddah Local Custom Tips by S_J_Miller

While visiting this beautiful country. Please respect their religion and cultures.
The religion and customs of Saudi Arabia dictate conservative dress for both men and women.

Foreigners are given some leeway in the matter of dress, but they are expected to follow local customs, particularly in public places.
As a general rule, foreign men should wear long trousers and shirts that cover the upper torso.
Foreign women should wear loose fitting skirts with hemlines well below the knee. Sleeves should be at least elbow length and the neckline modest.
The best fashion guideline is 'conceal rather than reveal'. Teenagers are also required to dress modestly in public places. Jeans should not be tight fitting and low necks and tank tops are not recommended. Shorts and bathing suits should not be worn in public.

Islam is the Religion practiced in Saudi Arabia and it does not allow the practice of any other religion within its borders.
