I understand that if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport you can't come to Saudi Arabia for anything, work or play, but does it work the other way as well? If you have a Saudi stamp are you denied access to Israel? Is this one of those either/or situations? Just curious. I thought after I finished working in KSA that I might take a trip over to Jerusalem, will I possibly run into problems?

I don't think you'd be automatically denied entry, but you'd very likely be subject to more stringent questioning and baggage checks, particularly if your passport showed evidence of travel to other Arab countries.

Well, I advise you not to go to 'Israel' with a Saudi stamp on your passport. Because the Shabak will scan your passport, steal your identity, and produce a fake passport with your name and photo and use it to do their dirty business as they did in UAE, then you will be blacklisted with the Interpol and your life will be hell!

Here's the summary answer... most of the time, probably nothing will happen beyond a few questions. If your interrogator has had a bad day or if you appear to have an attitude, things can go very badly and you may not get in at all.

Use common sense... be your politest self... and chances are they will just stamp you in...

Would UAE have a problem with it as well? I would like to see several places in the Middle East before I move onto Europe. It sounds like I should leave Israel as the last on the list, hit the other countries and then catch Israel on my way out. That's rather annoying but I guess it's politics and religions mixing things up.

I'd imagine they have more of a problem with klownish Israeli hitmen on fake Irish, British and German passports murdering people in their hotel rooms.
