Visa & Entry

US passport holders can obtain a tourist eVisa for Saudi Arabia at visa.visitsaudi.com. The eVisa costs SAR 535 (about $143), which includes the visa fee and mandatory medical insurance. It allows multiple entries over 1 year with a maximum stay of 90 days per visit and 180 days total per year. Processing is instant to 24 hours. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. Upload a passport scan and a recent photo.

Saudi Arabia also issues visas on arrival at major airports for US citizens at the same SAR 535 fee. At King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah or King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, the VOA counter processes arrivals in 15 to 30 minutes. The eVisa saves queuing time. Saudi Arabia opened to tourism in 2019 and has invested heavily in destinations: AlUla (Hegra/Mada'in Salih, a Nabataean UNESCO site), Diriyah (the original Saudi capital near Riyadh), and the Red Sea coast resorts. Dress modestly in public; women are not required to wear an abaya but should cover shoulders and knees.

Direct flights from New York JFK to Jeddah run about 11 hours on Saudia. Washington Dulles to Riyadh runs about 12 hours 30 minutes on Saudia. Saudi Arabia uses the Saudi riyal (SAR), pegged at 3.75 SAR per $1. Card payments work widely. The Haramain High-Speed Railway connects Jeddah to Mecca (30 minutes) and Medina (2 hours 30 minutes). Riyadh's Metro system has 6 lines serving the capital. Uber and Careem operate in all major cities. Restaurant meals range from SAR 30 to SAR 80 ($8 to $21) at mid-range restaurants. Alcohol is prohibited throughout Saudi Arabia.
