Saudi Arabia has reopened for international travel, allowing those vaccinated against COVID-19 to go abroad for the first time in more than a year.
In an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, Saudi Arabia banned most travel to and from the country in March 2020. Earlier this month, the Interior Ministry announced an easing of the travel ban that would allow citizens who have received two doses or have received a single dose of the coronavirus vaccine at least two weeks prior to travel beginning May 17.
