Can I Fly Within KSA while waiting for my Iqama to process? by Fofaz
So, just what the topic title says. I am arriving in October (Inshallah!) and was thinking of heading to Riyadh or somewhere sometime in November. Will it be possible to fly without a passport if I am flying within KSA? Thanks!

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I will not have my passport while my Iqama is processing, isn't this correct? So I would only have a US driver's license as ID. Will this be sufficient? Read More
