From Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam you will likely connect via a Gulf hub or Jakarta; direct flights to Timor-Leste are rare.

Use trusted taxi drivers recommended by your hotel and confirm fares up front. For family trips, pick accommodation with a reception that can help arrange transport and local guides.
