Aaaargh - your post comes about two weeks late for me... Am just in Sanaa and will FLY to Amman next WE because I did not get a visa.
Just in order to share: To get a Saudi Visa you'll need an invitation of a Saudi Organisation. I found following possibilities:
- The Harley Club in Riyad is willing to issue an invitiation in case you want to ride a Harley into SA
- The Automobile Association issues invitations as well, but they will have to be contacted by your local Automobile Association and the whole business must be done BEFORE you leave for your trip
- a Dutch guy I know got an invitation from his embassy. However, the German embassy will not issue such an invitation arguing it would not be job of an embassy to undermine the visa policy of another country. As much as I regret not being able to travel SA, I find this point of view fair enough.
Maybe it would make sense to contact the dealers of the other motorbike brands? Or maybe there are other motorbike clubs which would issue invitations for riders of non-Harleys? Or maybe it would make sense to FOUND such a club...?
Regards
Lars
