Dress modestly in public spaces, ensuring that shoulders and knees are covered at all times.
Wear tight-fitting, transparent, or revealing clothing, or garments displaying offensive images or slogans.
Use your right hand for eating, drinking, and shaking hands with others.
Hand items to people or eat with your left hand, as it is traditionally considered unclean.

Ask for permission before taking photographs of Saudi citizens, particularly women and families.
Take photos of government buildings, military installations, or palaces, which can lead to legal complications.
