We are moving to Jeddah on 26th this month. I will like to know if I can bring any food products into the country. My husband told me we are not allow to bring any food products there! But I'm not sure about that because i have a friend works in Riyadh one years ago she told me yes!! So I'm a little bit confused....
Can you bring food to Jeddah ?

hi, based on my experiences, it's OK to bring food to KSA. I brought meat products (rendang), chicken, vegetables, etc. So far so good, as long as it is fully wrapped. hope it helps.

You are very welcome. And for suggestion, there are lots of asian restaurants (filipino, indonesian, thailand, chinese, japanese and korean) in Jeddah. Of course, there's no doubt, nothing beats food from the original country, but at least we're safe knowing that there are many foods we know and easy to get in Jeddah.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia.

I've read in a new book about expat life in KSA (published this year) that it's actually illegal to bring ANY food items to the kingdom.
But how strictly these regulations are enforced in reality I don't know. There is also the possibility that the author was wrong or had outdated information.
