From what I hear, you can pull this off without a business reason. One can transit visa free for under 18 hours in Saudi Arabia (but not allowed to leave the airport). So what you should do is book a flight that has a transit time of between 18 and 72 hours in Saudi Arabia. That way you can get a transit visa. And I hear that people can usually leave the airport on such visas.
