If it was Jeddah, it would've been ok as long as you'll not be taking pictures of people particularly women. Riyadh I wouldn't bother at all. All in all it's prohibited, you can take special permission from authority. I think ... Read More

Difference: 91 & 95 Petrol by sh3hryar

Hey all, I am unable to find information regarding the two Petrol variants available in Saudi market. Could any1 please go through them for me. I am aware of Leaded and Unleaded gas difference. Thanks.

Trapezius

You are a welcome! Just as a relevant story, I was using 95 in my RAV4 for 2 years until a friend told me that I was wasting my money. I switched to 91, and that dropped the fuel economy -- and thus the range -- of the car. However, the ... Read More

Yes, he was just wasting his money, you don't have to! You can use 91 regardless of what the previous owner was using, it is after all, still a car with a tiny engine. Read More

91 is enough for all economy cars and also non-high performance mid-size cars. 95 is for BMWs and the like (European cars, high performance cars), or for 6 (and above) cylinder Japanese cars (but even 6-cylinder Jap cars will be fine on 91). Read More

I'm married to a saudi and want divorce, will he definitely keep the children? I'm British but originally from a muslim county..

True, it depends on the situation, but after reading Arab News and Saudi Gazette for 30 years (and from many personal cases I know of), I have come to the conclusion that in the vast majority of such cases (non-Saudi wife), the kids go to the Saudi ... Read More

As far as the formalities are concerned, as I and others have explained, unless her father agrees, they cannot get married. And so, the only solution is for her to take her father to court as he is violating Islamic laws by preventing her from ... Read More

Pick the solution you like: 1) She can take her father to court for not letting her marry. Otherwise, if he doesn't approve, you can't get married. 2) Run away to a country where adults are not required to have their family's ... Read More
