Clothing

 

Before you pack anything that is related to your clothing, keep yourself updated with the weather conditions; Kingdom observes only high temperatures most of the times in year.

Only keep light clothes and always keep a small amount of clothes according to your planned number of days you will be spending in Saudi Arabia. If you are traveling in winters then some of warm clothes will only when you will be staying in Madinah. Weather in Madinah touches the extremes of both textures of summers and winters.

 

Prepare a First Aid Kit
