I’m flying between two different cities in Saudi Arabia and need to bring my pills with me. I don’t have my medical proof with me, so would it be safe?
I would greatly appreciate the help!

Having taken Triplebyte’s coding quiz, Harold awaits multiple job offers, leaving plenty of time to contemplate the void.

So lately, I have been thinking of applying to King Abdulaziz university's faculty of Medicine. I've heard that it's extremely difficult as a foreign resident to get into such a school(I'm Egyptian), let alone get accepted into their Internal Scholarship Program(apparently, foreign residents can apply for that). Is it actually possible to get accepted into King Abdul-Aziz University's Medicine course as a foreign resident?
A little about myself and qualifications, I actually didn't take Qiyas or anything else—I opted for A levels and igcse because I was planning on applying to other places as well. As of now, I have done 2 A levels,currently doing my third and final A level subject, and 8 IGCSE subjects. I would say I have very decent grades(7 'A*'s and 1 'A' at the gcse level; 2 'A' at the A level). Would it be problematic if I apply using such certificates?
Also, I took IELTS a month ago. I scored an 8.0, alas with a 6.5 in writing. Assuming it's possible to apply to Med as a foreign resident, do I have a shot at getting accepted into the internal scholarshop program thingy? Thanks and sorry for listing, I just wanted to know if I can get into their scholarship program given my household's deteriorating financial situation.

Saudi plans to become a major gas exporter within a decade raise questions about what the real goal of the kingdom’s policy, and by extension that of the United States, is towards Iran.
Officially both Saudi Arabia and the US, which last year withdrew from the 2015 international accord that curbs the Islamic republic’s nuclear program and imposed harsh economic sanctions, are demanding a change of Iran’s regional and defense policies rather than of its regime.
Yet, statements in recent years by some Saudi leaders and US officials as well a string of declarations at the recent US-sponsored Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Stability in the Middle East in Warsaw by officials of the Trump administration as well as Saudi Arabia, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain suggested that regime change was on their radar.
