Saudis don’t like gifts bearing human figures, especially female figures.

If you want to give a gift, it is better to give it in the form of tea leaves, plants, buildings, etc. that are not shaped like people.

All food in Saudi Arabia is halal.

Therefore, even if you send Chinese chocolates or candies that contain fats and oils, the other party will consider whether they are halal.

So be careful.

In wealthy households, a special tea boy will come out to pour Saudi coffee for guests.

.

This type of coffee usually has a strong ginger flavor.

It may seem uncomfortable at first, but it's actually very refreshing.

You must accept that it is a small cup.

Taste slowly.

Eat it with authentic Saudi dates.

After drinking coffee, if you don't want to fill it again, you can gently shake the coffee cup to indicate completion.

The tea boy will take away the cup.

Don't take photos casually.

If you really want to take pictures, you need to get permission from the owner.

Eat with your right hand.

The order of the meal is appetizer salad, various raw vegetables and olives, followed by the main course, usually grilled meat and flatbread.

Or hand-caught rice or grilled chicken.

Or roasting whole lamb or camel is a very solemn and noble dish.

After the meal there was dessert and sweet black tea.

Think of these first, for reference only.

My younger brother is about to go to Saudi Arabia on a business trip for 2 to 3 months.

I have studied abroad for several years before, and I have some understanding of the culture of the Middle East, but I would like to consult experts about some details.

1. Is it better not to install movies on both the computer hard drive and the mobile hard drive?

(In order to pass customs) 2. Is it true that shampoo and the like cannot pass customs?

3. I brought some bags of coffee, eye drops, nose spray, stomach medicine, anti-allergy medicine and the like.

Can these go through customs?

4. I know that Saudi men like white, green, and taboo yellow.

But I heard that green is hard to wear, and I have a lot of orange clothes and bags. Is this generally okay?

5. Does Saudi Arabia have a phone card like other countries, which allows cheaper calls back to the country by entering a password?

6. Will it be more troublesome for Saudi Arabia to access foreign websites?

That's all for now, take 30 points first, if you don't have enough, add more.
