Saudi Arabia Address Format
Saudi addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street name with building number, district, then city + postal code (optionally with the 4-digit additional code) on one line. Under the National Address system, many deliveries still rely on P.O. Boxes, which are also widely accepted.
