Can travellers see Buddhist temples in Saudi Arabia?

There are no such temples in Saudi Arabia – source: 26+ years of living there.

There are way more Christians in Saudi Arabia than Buddhists – but there are no churches in Saudi Arabia either.

It is enshrined in the law – which states that all people are free to practice their religion in private only. Public houses of worship for other religions are not allowed.

The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice – known by their Arabic: مطوعين‎, enforces this prohibition.

I don’t think you can, Saudi Arabia is a muslim country and it has been for the last 1400 years or so, and all the Buddhist are foreigners that work in SA and not native to the country, so no there isn’t any Buddhist temples at all. ( I am sure that the sudi government wont allow any to be built ).
