    • If you are a woman travelling to Saudi Arabia especially in Riyadh, as soon as you get off the aircraft, women should wear an Abaya. This is mainly to cover oneself so as not to expose any body attributes or beauty. It is a women's garment worn over other clothing sometimes with headscarf and veil. Abaya is made of loose black long-sleeved worn by Muslim women and all women visitors of the Kingdom. Warning: Before travelling to Saudi Arabia - ask information on the pros and cons to avoid embarrassment and punishment.

    • Yes, if you are travelling on a highway along the desert in any part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia especially on your way to Riyadh or from a shopping trip from Alkhubar to Tanajib, you have to be aware of camels. Be careful of driving at night as the accident of camels being run over by vehicles is very common. You have to watch out for camels crossing the street as most of the time they come in group.
    Warning: Do not overspeed. Follow the speed limit. By doing this, you can avoid serious accident when you hit a camel on the road.

     What if you're wearing a abaya and it keeps you from seeing the camel that's crossing the highway? Or are women allowed to drive?    		Cielo_Algaeed Sat Apr 7, 2007 19:58 UTC
