Saudi opens up to tourism
As some may have heard: it has happened this week.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/27/t...questions.html
E-visas: 440ry (£95)

They say duration = 90 days from issue.
Link to actual app form (hard to find on the above link): https://visa.visitsaudi.com
Single women allowed, no need for burqa, just modest dress.
Other tourist rules which might get you flogged and sent home:

How it all applies to overlanders and foreign vehicles, who knows.
Added: I was told e-visa will not work overland.
IDP needed, CdP maybe not.
Clearly the only overland entry is from Jordan and no other way out other than ferries over the Red Sea to Sudan and Turkey or Dubai to Iran.
I presume Iraq, Qatar and Yemen borders all closed or a bad idea.
Petrol: 13p/L.
