But is it mandatory by the law?

robo_boss · August 23rd, 2009, 07:58 PM

It's a yes or no question. Anybody??

Can a Saudi walk into a restaurant in Riyadh at 3 o'clock in the afternoon during the Ramadan month, order a meal and eat it in front of everybody? Are restaurants even open in daytime during Ramadan?

***Saudi guy*** · August 23rd, 2009, 10:37 PM

as i informed in emirates if you eat in front of the public in Ramadan you will be arrested so i guess saudi arabia the same!

robo_boss · August 23rd, 2009, 10:40 PM

What about a non-Muslim? Can he eat in public?

***Saudi guy*** · August 23rd, 2009, 10:44 PM

iam talking about non muslim!

robo_boss · August 23rd, 2009, 10:48 PM

So all the restaurants are closed till dark?

jh1 · August 23rd, 2009, 11:53 PM

YES , all restaurants are closed till after the sun sets - except some restaurants , they open before sunset so you can by your "Iftar" or break-the-fast-meal -
it's not against the law - as I understand - for a non-Muslim to eat in public , but it's not polite to do so , and people will not hesitate to tell to respect their fast and eat in private .

Hi,

I'm not sure if this the right section for my question but the thread says we can ask questions about the country...Mine is related to durrat-alaroos...Is the entry there restricted ?... I'm a Pakistani and I want to go and visit the place and probably spend a day there ... but I have been told that the best areas there are not open for everyone (Indians,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in particular) .. I've heard only saudis and westerners are allowed in those areas... now I understand if you have to pay to go somewhere that's an exclusive or private property.... but if a person is not allowed to enter altogether based on his skin colour then it is really sad...
A friend of mine told me that we (you know what I mean by "we") can go only if the purpose of our visit is business and our company gives us some kind of an official document stating so.Whereas, the Saudis and the Westerners can go about anywhere they want in durrat-alaroos..
Please let me know if this is exactly how it is ?

***Saudi guy*** · November 30th, 2009, 07:39 AM

yep you are in right place my dear

i think there misunderstanding,usually foreign whose go to durat al aros or any other resorts used to be western but that doesn't mean you can't . anyway you must know that it will cost you allot started from 500SR per night,i have never been there before so you have to wait someone else who has experience to give you the details maybe The Pharaoh or rody69

wickedweapon · November 30th, 2009, 11:20 AM

Thank You for replying Saudi Guy.

I am willing to pay. But I need to know if there is no such restriction on Asians
especially the people of the sub continent. Because I have been told that there are some places in durrat-alaroos where "we" can't go.

Why would you assume I'm more experienced in that?

My family owns a chalet (beach-house, cabin or whatever you might call it) there. Consequently, I carry a free-access card which allows me to go pretty much to wherever I'd want to go, albeit the fact that I don't leave the chalet except for supplies (coffee, in particular). So, the skintone-based access isn't one of my "expertise". However, there are some areas that have restricted access for residents/renters only.

I guess that wasn't very helpful. Sorry!

***Saudi guy*** · December 2nd, 2009, 05:38 AM

oh my bad,sorry to involve you in that! you live close to the resorts that why i thought you may be!

Is your chalet up for rent ?

. Is there anyone on the forums who can shed some light on the color-based access ?

Sorry! Our chalet's for personal-use only... You cannot believe how people take advantage of rentals (chalets, cars, apartments.. etc.). Besides, it's not my decision to make. All I know is that my father doesn't put any of his properties up for rent. I think he had some really bad experiences...

Sorry!

Sorry!

No problem dude! I'll try to find someone who can arrange a chalet for me.You're totally right about the misuse of rentals.
I have another question for you guys..Is there a website where I can check prices of cell phones in the kingdom?.
My google skills took me to jarirbookstore.com but that's just about how far I got.
