| You
should by now have your flight details and ticket
(or details of PTA voucher for issue at the airline
ticket desk) for your travel to Saudi Arabia. In order
for your journey to be as smooth as possible, please
observe the following guidelines:
When packing your luggage, ensure that you do not
bring
• Alcoholic beverages
• Pork Products
• Religious texts, Icons or
Photographs
• Books/Magazines/Newspapers
containing revealing photographs
• Video tapes or CD Videos
The following items are best packed
in your hand-baggage:
• Prescription drugs
• Audio CD's and Cassette tapes
• Books and Magazines
On arrival at Riyadh Airport, please
be prepared for a possible lengthy period to clear
immigration and customs. Ensure that you obtain an
Entry Form from either the Air Stewards on board your
aircraft before you land or from the desk inside the
Passport/Entry Control Area on arrival. Make sure
you have completed this Immigration Form before presenting
your passport to Immigration Control. Although entry
visa problems and detention at customs are thankfully
rare, if you do experience any problems, ask the authorities
to make contact with our representative who will be
waiting to meet you in the arrival hall.
Once through entry formalities you
should proceed to the baggage claim area and retrieve
your luggage. You will have to pass through Customs
Control (this is via x-ray machine and may involve
physical inspection of luggage). On completion of
Customs you should proceed to the arrivals hall where
our representative will be waiting for you (look for
the G.T.C Rep holding up a Welcome display board with
your name on it. For those employees from Western
Agencies the G.T.C Representative will take you by
car to your accommodation. Please note that food,
laundry and telephone expenses will be to your account.
