About Saudi Arabia
Climate
The climate in KSA is hot in summer with high humidity and mild winters. The evening and early
mornings can be slightly cool during the winter months (mid November through February) and it is
generally a very dry climate with only limited rainfall during the winter months.
Language
The official language in Saudi Arabia is Arabic, but English is widely spoken.
Money
The monetary unit in Saudi Arabia is the Saudi Riyal (SAR). The Riyal is pegged to the US dollar at a rate
of SAR 3.75. Other exchange rates for all major currencies are published in the local newspapers.
Crime and Safety
KSA is considered a safe country both for visitors and residents. The crime rate is much lower than in
some western countries, but you should still take sensible precautions with valuables and cash and
avoid unfamiliar areas especially when alone or at night. Perhaps the biggest danger to safety of visitors
is the standard of driving on Saudi Arabia’s roads. Accidents are common place, so make sure you expect
the unexpected when driving and be especially careful if out and about on foot. It is not uncommon to
find a driver driving the wrong way up a one way street so always look both ways when crossing the
road.
