While modest dress is generally expected, women are not required to cover their heads or wear abayas except when visiting the Holy City of Madinah. Upon arrival, expect to undergo fingerprinting and a retinal scan. Keep in mind that many places, including shops and businesses, close between noon and 3 pm for prayer time, and some attractions may be closed on Fridays or Sundays.
