A few years back it wasn\u2019t really on anyone\u2019s radar, and it wasn\u2019t until 2019 \u2014 when the e-visa for 49 countries launched \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/mt.gov.sa\/about\/media-center\/news\/141\/Following-the-Issuance-of-Tourist-E-Visas-to-Applicants-from-49-Countries-in-2019-The-Ministry-of-Tourism-Expands-the-Issuance-of-Visas-to-Applicants-from-Eight-New-Countries-to-Attract-More-International-Tourists\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">that things really opened up for tourists<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Since then, the numbers have been climbing fast: in 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/moodiedavittreport.com\/saudi-arabia-inbound-tourism-hits-new-heights-in-2024\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">there were around 29.7 million international visitors<\/a> and roughly 116 million trips in total, counting domestic travel as well. The goal for 2030? A massive 150 million visits per year.

We visited Saudi Arabia in 2023, when tourism really picked up after COVID, and back then the total cost was a bit higher \u2014 around 535 SAR.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Important: you can only apply through <a href=\"https:\/\/visa.visitsaudi.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"s1\">visa.visitsaudi.com<\/span><\/a>.
