Answer: Men – Denim (that fits perfectly), slip on shoes and sunglasses.

Women – I can say things that should not be there, and if they are should stay in the closet while in Saudi, no boots please (it’s almost summer all year long!). No leather pants or tops (again, it’s almost summer all year long!) and please throw away all of your Crocs.

Answer: As a Saudi woman you need a good classic black abaya, trendy abaya, white shirt and a pair of right fitting jeans. As a Saudi man you need a classic thobe with a fine cut plus you need good shoes that go perfectly with any thobe, good jeans that fit very well and white tee for our summery days.
