Hello Sikhguy,

There a a few turbun wearing sikhs I have seen around, every body takes them very normally and knows it is a part of a dress from the Indian sub continent. People take it as more of ethnic and cultural rather than a religious decorum.

You may face some odd gazes in remote areas where the residents may never have met a sikh gentleman before but I believe it is normal, I will assure you no one will ever approach you and ask you about it!

I am sure with in a few weeks you will not even be thinking about the turban..

Hi brither ..

sorry but what do you mean by " sikhs "?? Is this religion if I understand well ?
and your quastion if there are any problem in you wear tredational clothes of sikhs??
hope I can help you

Hello Amer031.

Kindky go to Google and search for 'Sikh_turban'

You will get all the answers.

@Sikh Guy: I've seen a lot of Sardars wearing turbans in Dammam. Riyadh will be no different in this aspect..

Hi SikhGuy,

I hope you were able to get answers to your queries. I am also a sikh going to travel to Dammam for shorter duration, can you please share your findings with me as well.

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I keep frequenting Saudi and I have never faced problems at airport. Just once I was asked last month if removing turban would be a problem, and if its religious. And I replied yes to both queries, so the officer was understanding and he too smiled and let me go without any problems.

WJKK WJKF - Guys I'm flying out to Riyadh in the next few weeks for work. Would it be possible to get your contact details I'm staying in Qurtubah, Riyadh 13244

Veerji how was your trip?
Any inputs or findings will be appreciated?

Hiar2, welcome to the forum, however, this is a rather old thread. These members haven't connected since years now. You should probably start a thread of your own. You might get some responses from other members.

All the best,
Bhavna

Hi Veerji,

I was in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Dubai for 3 years. Travelling between countries every 2 weeks.

I always wore dastaar in public / airports. I never faced any discrimination when at checks or customs. I don't wear a kirpaan I don't think Saudi will allow you to board a plane with it.  In Dubai you may wear a small kirpaan and it has to be under your clothes.

There is a website called Kirpaan.com that lets you search a country and tells your results.

It is safe, During the period i was there I had no issue with locals / police. Obviously don't do anything to draw attention to yourself or offend anyone.

Thanks a ton veerji

Noted with thanks
