Answer 6

lil_rhon --

Wrong answer my friend.

The tap water in Riyadh and Jeddah is safe to drink it. In the Eastern Province it's not safe to drink it cuz it's mixed with water from underground so it tastes salty. For the rest of the Saudi areas it depends on the water system used there and i have no idea about them.

Answer 7

well it depends where you are from. If you live in saudi then it should be fine, but if you are from a different country you might get sick from the water. You can always boil the water before you drink it.
