Again we found ourselves at the airport. This time on our way to Dubai. Business or pleasure? Well a little bit of both. For hubster it’s business and I (K) just tagged along for fun. This time we took Saudia, which is KSA’s national airline. At the beginning of the flight they show you a safety video, with the same Bob the Builder animations as any other airline. You first see Bob placing his hand luggage under the seat in front of him, then fastening his seat belt and finally smiling courteously to other passengers. What you don’t get with other airlines, however, is a Quran recital right after the safety video.
When departing with Saudia they also don’t check if you are the person whose name appears on the boarding card. And security checks? Well, no, not really. You do get to put your luggage through an x-ray machine, and there is a separate security check for ladies. The times that I’ve been through the ladies security check they haven’t really checked anything though. In the room you usually find two ladies chatting with each other. Once you enter they wave a metal-detector in your general direction and send you on your way.

I think they don't check you because they know you don't mess around with islamic punishment.make sure you don't carry any absolute stuff!!
