welcome to Riyadh

stash? n u say it out loud and clear? I will call forums police for ya.

I am a tea addict which is why I refer to my supplies as a stash but to my knowledge tea isn't illegal so there's no need to jump to conclusions there!

Well from your profile, I gather you have been around a lot.. so you know the essentials of what all you will need. just avoid the things that will throw up any flags in customs and you should be fine. On clothing I am sure that you have an idea on what to take and what is not needed. Very heavy winter clothing/ or the rain boots from wet ol' London not needed at all.

English teas, well I havent found them to be that expensive. bring a small stash just in case.

I think the tea here is not expensive that much believe me, but bring in case you might find it expensive here for you.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will bring some English tea just to be safe

Hi,

Although Tea ia available in abundance, we also bring out tea bags with us on each trip from UK. (there is a taste difference!)

Also if you have preference to a certain make of medicines, please bring them with you. (medicines are available however the manufacturers are different and some people do have a liking to a certain brand)

When planning your trip to Riyadh please do be aware that there will be holidays for Hajj/Eid at the start of November for 5 to 11 days (equivalent to xmas, boxing day bank holiday in the UK). It will be best to travel after these holidays.

Good Luck!

Bacon!
