This is the Wikepedia entry on that particular story:

"A Saudi government website initially stated that Jews would not be granted tourist visas to enter the country [5][6] It has since removed this statement, and apologized for posting "erroneous information""

Which references these links:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3493448.stm

It should be noted that this was in relation to the issuing of tourist visas (which had not been issued to any non-Muslims prior to 2004). Visas had previously been issued for business purposes.
