Tipping in Saudi Arabia

Customary: 10%–15%. 10–15%, increasingly expected, especially in the cities.

At restaurants

What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size

Worked example

On a SAR200.00 bill, 10% is SAR20.00, so you would hand over SAR220.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about SAR50.00 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Not traditional but now normal with guides. Cash.
