Bad news - you can't just pop over to Saudi Arabia for a quick visit whenever you want. The country doesn't grant tourist (visit) visas in the same way the UK, the US or other destinations do. You can only obtain a visitor's visa to Saudi Arabia with a formal letter of invitation from a Saudi sponsor. If you want to tour the country, you'll need to make arrangements to do so with a large tour group that has an organised itinerary, and if you're going there on business, you'll need to receive a sponsoring letter from the company with whom you have business.

If you can be more specific about the reasons for your visit, perhaps I can provide you more helpful information. Otherwise, have a look at the Expat Arrivals Visas for Saudi Arabia page.

If you would like to go to Riyadh on holiday, perhaps you should contact Bestways Tours and Safaris, they have a Middle East Tour that goes through Riyadh as well as a number of other KSA cities. They may have some information about how you can join one of their groups, and they can thus organise you a visit visa.
