Saudi Arabia will confiscate camera phones at the airport

In response to questions in Camera Phone Report about whether Saudi Arabia would confiscate camera phones, I called the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. The Saudi government has banned camera phones in the country.

I spoke to someone in the Embassy's information office and she checked with another person to make sure.

I was told camera phones are confiscated from visitors flying into Saudi Arabia as part of the customs process. I was also told confiscated phones won't be returned when visitors leave the country.

So, if you have a camera phone and you're going to Saudi Arabia, leave the phone at home or get a camera-less phone for the trip.
