General information only
The content on holidaysaudi.com is general travel information, written in good faith and checked against sources we consider reliable. It is not legal, religious, medical, financial or professional advice, and it may not reflect your personal situation.
Check official sources
Visa and entry requirements, Umrah and Hajj regulations, health advice, prices and opening hours can change at short notice. Before you travel, always confirm important details with official sources, such as visa.visitsaudi.com, Nusuk for pilgrims, your government's travel advice and the businesses you plan to use. We cannot guarantee that every detail on the site is complete or current at the moment you read it.
Local laws and customs
Visitors are subject to Saudi law. Some rules differ from those at home, for example on alcohol, drugs, dress in public places, photography of people and official buildings, and behaviour during Ramadan. Our guides explain the main points, but you remain responsible for respecting the law and local customs.
Safety
Desert trips, hiking, diving, snorkelling and long road journeys carry real risks. Summer heat is extreme in much of the country, wadis can flood suddenly after rain, and distances between fuel stations can be long. Follow local signs and instructions, carry plenty of water, use qualified operators, respect your own limits and check conditions before you set out. You are responsible for your own safety decisions.
Third parties
We mention and link to hotels, restaurants, tour operators and booking partners. We do not control them and are not responsible for their services, prices or conduct. Some links are affiliate links; see our affiliate disclosure.
