Yes! they can. and they have the same rights as any other citizens i guess! dont be worried about these stupid terrorisim beliefs! muslims will treat you the same way they treat each other! no one can harm you, unless you do.

Listen, I used to live in Jeddah, and Christians are treated better than Muslims.
4 :
Yep. They can and do live here in Riyadh too. Theres many christian workers, nurses, doctors, engineers etc. Quite a few in Eastern Saudi ( Khubar and Dammam ) as well. Theres no churches though but other than that yeah they can and do live and work here and their everday life is normal just like the Muslims here. We deal with Christians, and even Hindus almost on a daily basis and the relations are very normal. In Jeddah specifically... people are known to be laid back and very open, which is why non Saudis ( and many Saudis ) like it, more than a business oriented cities like mine ( Riyadh ) in which people are kinda rough (relatively) and the daily routine gets boring.

There are plenty of Christians, hindus, buddists, jews and im sure other faiths living and working in SaudiArabia.. As long as you are respectful of the moral fiber of Islam.. (not openly propagating your religion, not going out as if dating publicly, etc, ) then you will be fine.. .. There are many corporations, companies here that hire foreigners.. Aramco (the Arabian American oil company) is one of the largest employers of Christians as you say.. many americans work for this company and live here jsut fine
9 :
they sure can, but as mentioned by others who gave their comments... no public churches can be built and are built in jeddah or the rest of KSA. you can practise your belief in your home though. it was even published in local news paper that non-Muslims can practise their belief privately. BUT... in Riyadh and some part of KSA, religious police well known as "mutawa" does not honor even private practises. they will not charge you with illegal practise of religion but with prostitution, drugs, alcohol, and most common is illegal assembly. and that is the reason why Christians in KSA still remains underground, to avoid being caught and charged falsely.

You can go. But, officially Saudi Arabia did once forbid the entry of non-Muslim religious material. The Saudi Embassy and Saudi Airlines websites have changed recently and now do NOT ban these items. So, bring some Bibles (English and Arabic). .
