We provide Security and Bodyguard Services for Saudi Arabia
Over the past decade, Intelligent Protection International Limited has provided clients with Security and Bodyguard services in Saudi Arabia, including for clients from the oil and gas industry and for celebrities visiting the country.
Officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the country is an extremely conservative country, synonymous with petroleum wealth.
Crime is very low in Saudi Arabia, but there is a risk of terrorism in the country. Saudi Arabia is at war with forces in Yemen and also has ill relations with Iran; there have been terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia against oil and gas infrastructure as recent as September 2019.
If you are concerned about travelling to Saudi Arabia, Intelligent Protection International Limited provides all clients with travel risk reports, the backbone of which is our own travel advisories. For the latest travel advice, please see our page: Saudi Arabia Travel Advice.
Whilst our Security and Bodyguard services cover the whole of Saudi Arabia, we predominantly cover the cities of Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Hofuf, Ta'if, Dammam, Buraidah, Khobar and Tabuk.
All of our Security and Bodyguard services in Saudi Arabia are carried out in a low-key manner. Overt close protection is not only not required in the country, it may be seen as offensive and disrespectful to your hosts. All our Bodyguards in Saudi Arabia are former British military and police, all are highly trained and vetted, and trained in first aid.
It is extremely important to understand that Saudi Arabia is the spiritual home of Islam and that the country follows strict Islamic laws and customs. As an international company with a decade of experience, we understand the importance of being culturally sensitive and are happy to discuss any concerns that our clients might have in this respect.
