eXtra is by far the best electronics shop in the city. Housed in a huge store, it has everything a traveller could need, from digital cameras and camcorders to mobile phones, tablets and personal items, as well as accessories and gaming merchandise for the whole family.

Shopping

Much of Saudi Arabia's social life revolves around shopping, an activity where everyone can participate. It is very common for families to visit one of the many large shopping centres and spend the whole day browsing, enjoying some refreshments and escaping the intense heat in the air-conditioned malls. But be sure to head to some of the smaller markets for more traditional and authentic shopping experiences, as well.
