Tango:

Thank you very much for offering to help find specific tour operators that offer tours to Saudi Arabia, but please do not do the painstaking research, as I've decided not to go there....

opus17, Rudi, Tango, Rudi, Doc, AC*SE, and rForst:

Thanks for the information.

For Saudi Arabia, I was considering visiting there as TWA offers non-stop service between Cairo and Riyadh, and was pondering visiting there considering the relative closeness [distance wise] between the 2 countries. Knowing now that individuals cannot get Tourist Visas, I definately will not be visiting there.

I was thinking of visiting Egypt to see the Pyrmaids, but I did not realize how high the airfare was between MLI and Cairo, so it looks like I will also not be going there either. Instead, I will be going to London. [see thread titled "Questions about London"]

Sorry to have wasted your valuable time. I hope you all can accept my sincere appology. Hopefully, someone else reading this thread will learn something useful.

Again, thanks to everyone for your help.
