See you around ladies and gentlemen

Hey, Jim, welcome! I have no real idea about KSA customs regs and getting AutoGeek shipments, but I hope you can work it out.

My real question though: any way you can get me a "tourist" visa? Hehehe. Yes, I know there are none. But I can get into the PDRK easier than KSA, and I really want to see Saudi!

Welcome from UAE!
First get a faster new car, one with a V8 or something

gas is dirt cheap there in KSA..
For detailing supplies, Meguiars Middle East is based in KSA and I think you might find another good brands if you search around in Jeddah.. Another option is to use Aramex Shop&Ship service to get anything from overseas but they charge around $10/lb..

Hi Sherif, I forgot where you are (which emirate?) and that you'd know how Jim could get stuff in KSA!

Hoping to get back to UAE for another visit later this year; was in Dubai in October, 2013, for a week and shot over to Muskat and Doha for quick visits.

I'm in Abu Dhabi (the Capital emirate) and Dubai is just 1.5 hours drive..
Weather is not the best in October (worst is from June to September) and it's best from November to March.. Temperature is 66f now and it's 12:30am

this is our beautiful winter when we get to enjoy everything (off road trips, camping, gardens, beaches, parks, hanging out anywhere and of course Detailing!). Nothing to do here during summer other than malls, hotels or basically any air conditioned place..
Let me know if you're coming back for another visit

**SameGuy** · 01-12-2015, 09:25 PM

Will do, for sure!

Thanks bro! ...I also have no idea about their customs regulations here except that they do have delays...hehehe

About tourist visa if you're a muslim you can easily get a visa (but not "tourist" ...sorry i forgot the term) as hajj and/or umrah pilgrimage. And also if you have business purpose here or if you're going to work here... let me know when you get here

Thanks sherif... I'm planning to get a mid size SUV later this year still waiting for some new 2015 models.

Thanks for the Aramex tip... i will look into it. although The Majestic UAE already contacted me regarding some synthetic sealants...still waiting for their reply about shipping cost. They do carry Chemical Guys products...

I made a few purchases from Majestic, they also carry Zaino, Migliore and 22ple products.. Fair enough prices, they just add 25% to the listed price on CG website for example..
