Safety notes

  • Makkah is closed to non-Muslims and central Medina has a restricted zone. Both are listed on this site because they are where a great many visitors base themselves — check your own eligibility before planning a trip around either.
  • Summer heat here is a planning constraint rather than a discomfort: shade, water and an indoor plan for the middle of the day, and no long walk between late morning and late afternoon.
  • Modest dress is expected everywhere in public, and required at religious and heritage sites.
  • During Ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public in daylight is not done, and opening hours shift; check before you plan a day around a site.
  • Do not photograph people without asking, and do not photograph military, port or government sites at all.

Winter air is clearest on the plains; on the Asir escarpment the summer mist is itself the view, and it can also close it entirely. The north is the cold end of the country. Winter nights drop below anything else on this site and the high ground occasionally sees snow, so a winter trip here needs different clothes from a winter trip to Jeddah.
