The authorities of Saudi Arabia have made changes to the rules for obtaining an electronic transit visa (e-stopover visa). Now it will be issued only to passengers traveling from or to countries included in the «Group A». This service is available only for those travelers whose flights start or end in one of the approved countries. More detailed information about the new requirements can be found here.

As mentioned, the rules in Muslim Saudi Arabia are quite strict, and as a tourist you should adhere to the following rules for a pleasant stay.

Clothing:
Men and women should dress modestly in public places and avoid form-fitting clothing. It's better to leave items with offensive inscriptions in the closet. Women should cover their shoulders and knees in public places.

Behavior in public
It's better to avoid displays of affection such as hugs or kisses in public places. This behavior does not correspond to the local understanding of culture and relationships. Also, pay attention to the manner of communication. Rude or blasphemous statements or gestures can be severely punished.

Religion and customs
Five times a day, music is turned off on the streets for prayer, and shops are also closed for a short time during prayer. During the fasting month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, and it would be very respectful if you, as a visitor, also avoided or limited eating and drinking during the day in direct contact with the locals.

Alcohol and drugs
The sale, purchase, and consumption of alcohol are prohibited in Saudi Arabia. It is illegal to carry or consume alcohol or drugs in public places.
