Tourist Visa for Saudi Arabia?

I would like to visit my sister in Riyadh for the upcoming Eid Holidays? Does anyone have idea about tourist visa by Saudi government?. I know the umrah visa has been stopped due to hajj. Is there any other options to get into Saudi?
Any ideas plz....?

A transit visa to the UAE is exactly that. If you try to go to Riyadh or other regions, the police may stop you and send you back. There are checkpoints along all the major routes - so why risk it.

Im keen on knowing this as well. Esp the question put by the op above. How long you can one spend while on transit via Saudi? I would also like to know while on transit route can a person drift his path to Riyadh as the op wants while going to UAE / Bahrain?

Thank u so much Basheerdoha for your advice. Can you tell me how many days are we allowed to stay in Saudi during transit? Thanks once again.

Dear friend,

There is an easy way if you are planning to go by road, Apply for a transit visa as if you are going to UAE or Bahrin. Embassy did not accept application directly, there are agents whom you can contact. I went to Saudi last month like this. Please contact me at 66507879 if you need more details.

Regards,

Saudi is now in the spirit of Hajj and you will not get tourist/visit visas now (not only umrah visas). They are not fools.

Isn't a tourist visa to Saudi an oxymoron?
