Undoubtedly you were there with a company. To get a Saudi visa, have your company sponsor in Saudi Arabia request the visa.

Nope,I was on a tourist visa.I got a really cheap fare from JFK to Hong Kong on Emirates and the fare allowed a stopover in the UAE...so I stayed for 3 days and visited with a friend that I went to school with.I've certainly heard of business visas to Saudi but I couldn't get a tourist visa.Either I was going about it wrong (possible but unlikely...I have lots of experience with visas) or they didn't exist.

Oh well....

There are no tourist visas. Everyone entering the Kingdom is reviewed. To get a visa you must have a sponsor.

They fear Palestinians will come in hordes if allowed
