Since 27 September 2019, Saudi Arabia has granted tourist visas to nationals of 49 countries, including the United Kingdom.
According to the Saudi authorities, it is possible to apply for this type of visa upon arrival at Riyadh and Jeddah airports, using the terminals provided for this purpose.
However, French nationals travelling to Saudi Arabia for tourism are advised to obtain an electronic visa via Saudi Visa prior to travel.
In all cases, visitors must be able to present the required supporting documents upon arrival, particularly with regard to medical coverage.

The Saudi authorities do not issue visas to passport holders with Israeli visas or stamps in their passports.

• Customs regulations

Upon arrival in Saudi Arabia, luggage is generally inspected in detail. To avoid confiscation and unpleasant searches, it is advisable to comply with restrictions on the importation of certain goods.

Further information can be obtained from the Saudi Arabian Embassy in your country.

Certain social and religious rules must be observed:

• The import and consumption of alcohol and pork are strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia. Imported cultural products (books, DVDs, magazines, etc.) must comply with local standards of decency.

• Men must wear trousers and avoid shorts or Bermuda shorts.
• Islam is the only permitted religion in Saudi Arabia. All expressions of belonging to other religions, such as practising, proselytising or displaying symbols, are prohibited.
• Only Muslims are permitted to visit Mecca, and access is strictly controlled. Access to the Prophet's Mosque in Medina is prohibited to non-Muslims.
• During Ramadan, travellers must take particular care to respect Saudi customs and traditions.
