FCO Country Advice for Saudi Arabia
Today’s Saudi Arabia is still a land of mystery largely
due to its fundamentalist Islam state form and its rigid admission
policy. Saudi Arabia is incredibly difficult to visit, there's
no tourist visa in this country. Best way to get in is by invitation
of a Saudi person or company, or, if you’re a Muslim, on
a pilgrimage to one of the holy cities.
Even if until 20 years ago local authorities were really strict
with Christians and Jewish, nowadays they are much more tolerant.
So to carry a Bible with you shouldn't a problem anymore and
women are well treated. To get more information it is strongly
suggested to contact the local Saudi Embassy.
About half of Saudi Arabia consists of uninhabitable desert.
Here there are no permanent rivers and lakes and the average
temperature in July is about 40ºC. These unfriendly circumstances
have deeply influenced the Arab way of life. Saudi Arabia is
the largest country in the Middle East . The Saudi Arabian state
was first established in the central region of the Arabian Peninsula
in the early 18th Century, but king Abdul Aziz Bin Abdul Rahman
Al-Saud founded the present day state only in 1932. |
