Getting around in Saudi Arabia is relatively simple due to Saudi Coach Bus (SAPTCO), long-distance buses that link most of the country. The buses are modern and comfortable, but sometimes inconvenient as many stations are well outside the city centres. A popular alternative is the train line that runs between Riyadh, Al-Hofuf, and Dammam five times a day.Taxis are available, and the only practical means of transportation within cities. Fairs are usually metered, but you may need to haggle outside of Riyadh. Renting a car in Saudi Arabia is easy, and the roads are good and petrol is cheap. However, Saudi drivers are considered some of the worst in the world, so driving in Saudi Arabia is not for the faint of heart.
