1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles.
2. Street name and building or house number - This line should include the street name and building number without any separating commas or punctuation.
3. Dependent locality - The dependent locality gets its own line. YAY.
4. City - The city also goes on a line all by itself.
5. Country - Write "ARE" in all caps on the last line. Ta-da! You’re done.

Before we get started, here’s a note on transliteration: Address transliteration is the process of converting address characters in one alphabet (in this case Arabic characters) to another (English or Latin characters) while still preserving the intended tone and representation of the words. In other words, we’re using Latin characters to represent the phonetics of Arabic words. It’s important to understand that transliteration isn’t the same as translation. (That’s why translating tools don’t always get the message right). Transliteration is a mechanism that we use to bridge language barriers while maintaining mailability and accuracy to the phonics of those words, and this is one of the countries where Smarty offers transliteration services.
