You need a sponsor and justification of your visit, someone must be at KSA related airport to pick you up.They will allow you to go out at recieving area to bring ID card of the one who came to recieve you. When you show that ID to coustoms,than you would be allowed to enter KSA.
Better you purchase a black colour abaya (veil) you have to wear it while in public areas. (First one or two days no problem).
If possible to bring a man with you, he must be your brother,father or husband,not anyone you find.
If you would have mentioned the reason of your visit it was easy to answer more precisely.

Well, if you're not coming with your husband, brother, son, uncle, nephew, or other close male relatives, it could be hard for you.
I have seen women going out alone at the airport, but thats what I've heard.
If you have family residing in Saudi Arabia, then you should have no problem getting a visit visa.
Or you could come with a group of women.
Best idea would be to contact the Saudi embassy and ask them.

Contact your country's embasy in Saudi Arabia. If your country doesn't have one, don't go.

Don't go alone. Why go at all? There's a whole big world out there that is much safer and more interesting.

Females can not travel to the middle east alone. You would have to have a male escort. It's a religious thing.
