Yes, but you need to ask around where you live to find them. Be careful whom you ask. Practicing any religion except Islam is punishable by law. According to Wikipedia, "Saudi Arabia allows Christians to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practice their faith openly. Because of that, Christians generally only worship in secret within private homes. Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are prohibited.These include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols, and others." - Oct 2012


Yes, but you must know someone. I think both protestant and catholic are available. - Apr 2008
