Traditional old-time Saudi seating consists of cushions on the floor around the perimeter of a room, or couches arranged in the same way. The top photo here shows the typical traditional outdoor seating, which is elevated off the ground by wooden frames for chairs or couches. Many restaurants in Saudi Arabia offer this type of outdoor seating which is popular during the cooler months.
Here's another less expensive version of the seating in the first photo. You'll see things like this in public residential areas. The last photo show how old hand-me-down indoor couches are often used outside shops or buildings.

The patterns of the cushions are similar to what I've seen here at an embassy event.
