Yes You have to wear them !! Office or not at office.....:)

Thanks for your replies.

Formal i) pants, ii) shirts, iii) shoes, iv) belt: can we wear them while attending office (and during outing casual ones)? I meant to say any restrictions in wearing them in KSA or do we need to wear as to what saudis are wearing? :)

Can we carry general medicines in our luggage? Or do we need to have a doctor prescription along with the medicines? Pls clarify.

for medical drugs if they were sedatives like tramadol or benzodiazepines such as diazepam or alprazolam  they are prohibited to be carried

Dress - you wear pants and shirt - do not need to wear saudi dress
