FAQs About Touring Saudi Arabia
1. Are your drivers also licensed tour guides?
Our drivers are highly experienced and knowledgeable about the locations, history, and best routes. While they provide excellent facilitation and information (especially for Ziyaraat), they are primarily professional chauffeurs, not licensed tour guides. If you require an official guide for specific historical sites (like Hegra), we can help arrange one.
2. What is the recommended dress code for city tours in Saudi Arabia?
Visitors should dress modestly. Men and women should cover their shoulders and knees. While the abaya is no longer mandatory for foreign women, loose-fitting, respectful clothing is advised, especially when visiting religious sites.
3. How long does a typical city tour last?
Most Ziyaraat tours in Makkah and Madinah last 3-4 hours. City tours in Jeddah or Riyadh typically last 4 to 8 hours. Tours to AlUla or Abha are usually multi-day trips.
4. Can I book a tour for a large group?
Yes, our fleet includes Vans, Coasters, and Mini Buses suitable for large families and tour groups.
