This is just a very typical scene in a Saudi supermarket. It's not unusual to see men wearing a variety of clothing - from the traditional Saudi dress, to western clothing, to uniforms, to native dress typical in other countries. While women all wear abayas, abayas have gotten much more colorful and diverse than ten short years ago.

The dual languages- Arabic and English- on the signs would take some getting used to.
How many American products can you get at the grocery?
We have quite a lot of American products available to us here in Jeddah. However if you are looking for a particular brand of an item, you may have to settle for what you can find. The selection has improved greatly since I moved to KSA 11 years ago.
I read an article a while ago that Amazon was in talks to add KSA to their customer base. However, now that women can drive, I suppose it isn't so much of an issue, but I would have thought on-line shopping would have been popular because of the driving restrictions.
