    • Since the suicide bombings earlier in the year in Riyadh, police have been setting up more checkpoints around Jeddah.
    It makes the traffic flow a lot slower but it's safer for everyone.
    They don't say anything about Westerners travelling together (i.e. unmarried men and women), but you have to be VERY careful if a single western woman is travelling by herself with an arab man.
    Just make sure you have your iqama/passport with you when out and about.

    • Avoid Chop Chop Square on Friday afternoons if you have an aversion to seeing executions. A westerner will be pushed to the front of the crowd by locals.
