Committed traffic laws there ..
You'll see beautiful cars and luxury ..don think about them and put all your money as its price! .. if the company did not provide you with transportation ..you can buy a used car in good condition in order to safeguard your money and to avoid the big loss in the price of the new car when you want to sell.
I forgot to tell that a lot of people there, especially teens driving the car recklessly so you have to be careful ..if you encountered one of them just keep away to the right or stop the car until he passes!
It really varies from one region to another ..you can ask me about any region in this point.
Also bring your home country's driving license ... sometimes you can drive using it until you get a Saudi license (if your country in the list of allowed country to drive in Saudi Arabia) . in all cases, it will reduce the duration that you need to get the Saudi license so brought it anyway.
