Hi there,
I'm about to leave Saudi Arabia in 2 weeks. What bugs me right now is what kind of souvenirs I can bring back for my families and friends.
Actually I don't want any cliche tips such as Watches, Smartphones since, for one, I'm not a watch-person, and secondly for now I don't need any electronic products (except a Kindle which is unavailable here).

So I need some advice about souvenirs. which don't have to be luxury but voyage-friendly, and remind of me of my life here.

It has been an amazing year here. I met amazing people, I tried weird but surprising food, and did lot of staff that I've never done before.  Anyway, it'll be great if you leave your comments below, I'll check the staff and shops you guys recommend on Friday mostly in Al Khobar.

Thank you all!
