Will beatings by the religious police be part of the standard tourist package?

Who would want to go there?

You could end up losing your head.

I think that is good.

Tourism is big business.

Also, as tourists come, they may influence the country to become more modern and less dictatorial Muslim.

LOL...when I see something, my mind often in the first half second misinterprets what it sees, and before the cognitive part caught up with the visual part I thought it said:

"...Saudi Arabia Opens Kingdom to Foreign Terrorists..."

I've been there on business. It is a 50 Riyal revenue stamp to get a visa (roughly US $13). I'm not sure I would want to travel outside of the Dammam area, which is the capital of Eastern Province and the main oil producing area where foreigners are relatively safe.

They are safe mainly because the Saudi government understands well that if they leave, their economy collapses and they are back to an economy based on growing dates, herding sheep, camels and the like. There just aren't enough natives who know how to keep the oil pumping and refining machinery operational. Not to mention all the other first world skillsets necessary to keep a third world people enjoying the benefits thereof.

Did they lift the restriction on my wearing a cross? Traveling with my Bible? Will my rosary get confiscated?

Sorry. Though I do see this as a good step forward, I wouldn’t trust that medieval cesspool of intolerance at all.

What would motivate Western tourists to visit Saudi Arabia? Mosques and sand as far as they eye can see. Oh boy!

RE: Saudi Arabia Opens Kingdom to Foreign Tourists

Are women allowed to show their legs like they do in Dubai?

No thanks. I’ll pass.

My idea of an enjoyable vacation doesn’t include having to wear a black garbage bag over my head and body.
