Travellers to Saudi Arabia who have completed two doses of the Sinopharm or Sinovac vaccines will be accepted if they have received an additional dose of one of the four vaccines approved in the Kingdom.

On August 1, the Kingdom reopened its borders to international tourists who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Such travellers will not need to quarantine, authorities had said.
