I was in Saudi during the Gulf War. All the Christian ex-pats I met had had their Bibles confiscated.
Will not tell you what I did.

I believe the Bible is banned from Saudi Arabia.

Yes, I'm sure that you're not allowed to carry a Bible in Saudi. they don't allow the 'promotion' of any other religion than Islam.

I know that Sufis (a sect of Islam) are not allowed to worship there. The Saudi Royal family are Wahabbists, and have a more narrow interpretation of things than other sects.

If you take one there you must keep it hidden and only read it where no one of islam can see it. do not show it or offer it to any one else. Do Not read it in public

You can have it with you, just keep at your hotel. Theres no need for you to take it around with you.
