There are companies that will handle all that for you. Don't know the names of them but I've seen people discussing it before on here.

If you are just two women I doubt very much they will even let you in the country unless things have changed since I was there last. Women are not allowed to drive nor are they allowed to be with a man unless they are related to him.

Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today.

Saudi will not grant you access without proper visa's for Saudi. Good luck with that process.
