How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula, with coastlines along the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Its terrain is predominantly arid desert, including the vast Rub' al Khali. The country shares borders with Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. Regional character is defined by its desert landscape, historical trade routes, and religious significance.

Major cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah mix modern skyscrapers with traditional architecture. Daily life follows Islamic rhythms, with prayer times and religious observances shaping routines. Recent social reforms have expanded public entertainment and women's participation in the workforce. Local markets, or souks, remain popular for shopping and socializing alongside contemporary malls and cafes.

Saudi Arabia is a central player in Middle Eastern geopolitics and a leading energy exporter. It is a founding member of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League. The country's Vision 2030 initiative aims to reduce oil dependence and diversify the economy. Its role as the custodian of Islam's holiest sites gives it significant cultural and religious influence globally.
