Abaya

Hello,

My biggest question currently is not about life in Saudi but when I fly in do I need to be wearing an abaya?  If so does it need to be plain and black.  I dont want to offend any one at the airport.

I guess I can order from the UK?

Thanks!

Hi Sue!
Usually when visitors come to the airport they don't wear abayas, but conservative clothing like long pants and shirts will do just fine, you can wear a long coat, maxi dress or cardigan as well if you go outside in the public until you buy an abaya, what I recommend is that wear colorful ones and don't limit it with just black, you're not offending anyone please it's us who feel offended by wearing it lol!
Enjoy your stay here!
