Riyadh - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
I'd bring a larger SUV just because there are so many large cars and semi-crazy drivers. Ford, Toyota, GM. Beginning to see more Chinese cars and the development of an electric car infrastructure, would be ok for travel within Riyadh, would not take city to city. Drivers here are not as bad as say Cairo, and the government is really cracking down via cameras and tickets on unsafe practices, but you still need to be ready for random fender benders and people who simply are not trained to drive. - Dec 2024
