Drive on the right side of the road. The steering wheel is on the left side like in the US and most countries.
Get a license. You will need to pass a reverse or parallel parking test. It doesn't matter which type of car you get, manual or automatic transmission.
Don't drive over the speed limit. Although very common, it is being enforced; there are cops with speed cameras almost everywhere. Undercover cops are also very common on highways, usually a white lumina, crown Victoria, or corolla with flashers hid behind the tinted glass, and sometimes they have police bumpers.
Drive in the extreme right lane if you are traveling slower than other traffic; be alert for traffic exiting and entering the road, particularly if the right side is not curbed. Pass on the left.
Use turn signal/indicators in the direction you want to go when changing lanes, turning, and waiting at signals, etc.
Be cautious if you are a woman. As of June 2018, it is no longer illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia. However, it's entirely possible that a woman driving may be met with negative reactions from men. Take caution not to break any driving laws, so as to avoid drawing the attention of an ill-mannered policeman.
