Transit time is under 12 hours with no other stops in KSA, which should be fine in terms of visa regulations, but...how about the luggage? Is it going to go through or am I gonna need to re-check it in? Could this be a problem in RUH? After quite ugly experience with WY (probably outsourced, staff on board was great) check-in staff in DXB I'd like to come a bit better prepared this time:-)

Thank you all who's able to say something to this topic.
