Hi!
I will be arriving in Riyadh on 10 October, final destination as yet unknown, probably Tabuk, but I have no problem where I end up. I need advice on some practical issues:
Voltage: My home country uses 220v. Do I need an adapter for my notebook and mobile (iPhone)?
Dress: I know the dress code for the office but do I need to wear long sleeved shirts in public as well?
Home life: I will be staying in a western compound. Anything I should focus on to bring, to make things more homely?
Money: I have both VISA and MC so I guess I will be able to readily draw money. Any comments in this regard?
Items to bring: What daily use items in western countries are unlikely to be found in KSA? I do not plan to do anything stupid but will definitely bring my Bible along for personal use. iTunes on the notebook contains a variety of music. Am I likely to find my notebook and mobile searched?
Best regards
Andries O
