Page 1

Saudi Arabian society is undergoing a transitional journey as the Kingdom welcomes more visitors from overseas to encourage a developing tourist industry and drive overseas commerce. Although changes are happening very quickly there are some important things tokeep in mind when visiting Saudi Arabia for the first time. ➢ Alcohol is not drunk in Saudi Arabia. ➢ Please do not attempt to bring alcohol into the country. ➢ Please use polite language when out and about in Riyadh and at King Abdulaziz Racecourse and associated Saudi Cup events. ➢ Saudi Arabians are naturally very welcoming people and traditional Arabic hospitality and good manners are an important part of society. ➢ Please remember that Saudi Arabia observes Islamic prayer timings and shops may close during these times. ➢ Women do not need to cover their heads or wear abayas in Saudi Arabia,but it is advisable to wear modest clothing with full length trousers or skirts and upper arms covered. www.thesaudicup.com.sa
