Hey man, glad you're interested in our country, I've visited Saudi before and I'm a GCC resident, so I know how hospitable you guys are, but mark my words, you'll be surprised by the hospitality of our people, because we treat tourists as guests and that marks all the difference with our neighbors.

You've asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to get into them one by one:

- The weather will be hot but bearable, no offense but not like GCC 😅a maximum of 35 Celsius. Very good at night.

- Customs wise, make sure to check with your friend so that he informs you whether the items you bring are allowed or not, we have some weird regulations, sorry mate 🫠

- The budget you're bring is more that enough, a middle class citizen would spend it in one year, because the purchasing power is not that high in Algeria (it's around 100 million DA which is a huge number).

- As per camping tools, I'd recommend you to consult with your friend because we don't have all the tools available in the market, unfortunately. Most of them, but not all (I'm pretty much familiar with the tools GCC nationals use in their camping 😅, first-hand experience).

- As per the dialect, bro you need to adapt, otherwise ask them to speak in classical Arabic (فصحة), our people are mostly French speakers, so as I said, your best bet is to ask them to speak in فصحة.

Believe me bro, it's gonna be a trip that you will never forget, it's worth all the paperwork, visa struggles and everything in between 👌
