For an American, travel to Saudi Arabia requires a visa. Part of the visa process includes signing a code of conduct. Below is a copy of the statement:
I hereby certify that, during my stay in Saudi Arabia, I shall abide by all the laws and regulations of the Kingdom and I shall respect the morals, customs, values and feelings of Saudi society. I also should not smuggle in any prohibited items. I am aware that alcohol, drugs, narcotics, pornographic materials and all types of religious, political or cultural leaflets, pamphlets, magazines, books, audio tapes, video tapes, films, or other references of all sorts, contradictory to Islam are prohibited from entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whether for personal use or otherwise. I should not participate in or call for gatherings, whether for sectarian, religious or political purposes. Any types of illegal drugs and narcotics smuggling in and distribution inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishable by DEATH.I agree that if I am convicted because of violation of the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I shall be subject to penalty.
I guess I'll have to take my other suitcase this trip.

Nick, the blog was a great read! It reminds me of my visits to Dubai. Keep it going.
Hi Rosy and Nick! I finally found your blog. Love the photos of the boys! We just survived a 8" snowstorm in good ol' NY. I'm jealous of your endless summer! Suzanne
