Saudi Arabia What to Pack: 11 reviews and 2 photos
Miscellaneous: I have been reading on the net that these items are forbidden but here is my input:*
-contraceptives: not true,I used to bring my pills from abroad....and we do have them in many brands in our local pharmacies.same goes with condoms(take off the shelf items in any pharmacy).
- Jewellery: not true(but maybe in enormous quantities!)
-musical instruments: not true!
There are shops in the kingdom that sells music instruments,pianos,drums,violins,ect.
-Mobile phones with cams:
Not true,our market is filled with mobiles with cams,plus they wouldnt look at the mobile you`re holding.so no worries.*
Miscellaneous: -Pork and pork products.
-Alcohol Drinks.
-Pornography on DVDs,Vedio films,porn Magazines,sex toys....ect.
-Religious books: only of other than Islam.And any symbol of other religions such as a cross necklace.
-children's dolls:
not that strict, at a time I brought 10 Barbie dolls to the kingdom as gifts and nobody interfered.
- statues in the form of an animal or human:
not that strict either...I brought statues from India,Pakistan,France,Mexico,Morocco and many more than I can remember!
