Saudi Arabia does have a Postal System but unlike the states, there are vast differences in the mail system and service here. For starters many homes will not even have house numbers visible. When one needs to know where someone lives, instead of receiving an address you'll be given directions with lots of landmarks to find ones way. It is not unusual for neighborhood streets to have no street signs posted.In Riyadh the city is divided into various districts or neighborhoods. For example, a very popular shopping area is in Al Olaya district. So to start off with directions or addresses, one begins by stating what district/neighborhood the facility is located in.One does not have a mailman who delivers daily mail. Most residents in Saudi either have a PO Box or use courier services for delivery of documents and packages. and their mail is censored, so you may get articles with blacked out images , the country has no postal code as we know it, you need to address any items through a courier service or to a local bank there, which is where the people pay their bills and collect their mail, Unless its couriered
