Saudi Arabia: Tourist Limitations in The Kingdom Last updated on
Sunday 25th April 2010
Saudi Arabia is one of the most difficult countries in the world to visit. Unlike other GCC countries, hotels cannot sponsor visitors and for all practical purposes, a tourist visa does not even exist.

It is worth noting that foreigners on a visitor's visa can travel anywhere in the country -- except Makkah and Madinah for non-Muslims -- with only their passport.
