Oh it's just like Roach Motel. You check in, but you don't check out alive.

Come to Saudi Arabia...

Elephant in the room: Saudis bankrolled other Saudis to attack America on 9/11.

And just why the hell would I want to visit a place like Saudi Arabia?

The only U.S. citizens clamoring to go to Saudi Arabia are named Trump.

Ehhh, no thanks.

If they want you there they'll take you.

Stay away from their consulate though. Bad things tend to happen their. Js saudicrimes grabthebonesaw

Come for the camels, stay for the torture.

Kashoggi effect

Welcome 🙏

Oh wow...but those who werent offerred free visas aren't complaining 😁

No pork, no booze, no hookers and no gambling. I'm sure Americans can't wait to visit.

I'll pass, but thank you. I just have an affinity with not getting dismembered...call me crazy

Just where I want to go. Does it come with a chain saw?

Welcome 🇸🇦💚

Prince Salman He killed tourists Who will ask the account? Saudi Arabia Yemen U.S, Europe, Japan China

So the Saudis can chop up any critics of Mohammed Bone Saw who take them up on their offer? Thanks. No thanks.

Welcome (and don’t forget your head or your hand in our beautiful country)

Um, pretty sure they are holding an American hostage right now.....nuce try but, no thank you!

Will Saudi authorities let us also drive recklessly and endanger the lives of their great nation's pedestrians? Will the U.S./Saudi gov.'s help me avoid prosecution after any crime? If so, maybe I will visit.

🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱

It's a trap! Don't do it! jk, but forewarned is for armed.

Becareful of anything FREE !, NO THANKS, I like the Caribbean beaches

Thought id stop by to see how the new Visit Saudi tourism campaign is working out,? What do twitter people think of it?

My cat needs me.

Arizona and Nevada are nice dry places to visit plus you can gamble and drink without offending your host state. Just sayin..

Visa-free? I wouldn’t go if free altogether.

Not one country from Africa? We in Africa see the whole world as one. But we are always treated as if Africa is in Jupiter or a land inhabited by last class humans. We will continue to believe in ourselves with the mind of a brighter and stable future

Saudi Arabia is The land of peace, prosperity and generosity opens its doors to visitors to see the land of wonders, beauty, purity of atmosphere and warmth .

No Thanks

Will there be guided tours of prison and torture chambers? Will they have a Jamal Khashoggi attraction? Who would deliberately go to Saudi Arabia?

No thanks! Would not trust it! What if doors are closed back while Americans are there!

Been there, have the t-shirt. That was enough.

I'll stick to countries where the leader doesn't murder journalists and then lie about it like a coward.

Right?! I mean, who would EVER go into a Saudi Arabian Embassy, anywhere, ever again?......

It's like that scene at the end of Goodfellas where Robert Deniro tries to get Karen to look at the dresses.

No thank you... I don't like bonesaws.

Really? Anybody wants travel to Arabia?

Saudi Arabia The land of peace, prosperity and generosity opens its doors to visitors to see the land of wonders, beauty, purity of procedure and warmth .

Welcome to our beautiful country 🌹

Yeah I’m 100% good on that. Public canings, societal misogyny, and dismembering journalists aren’t high on my travel desires.

Salmane = best politician for Saudi Arabia

Just don’t drink or have fun

Correction: change tourist to terrorist.

Where is MBS on non-industrial hemp?

Welcome to the land where torture is a common practice...next a stop at the dungeons for a demonstration on female civilians who thought they had the same rights as you do in your countries... food and beverages are for free

Bone saw. No thank you.

So they can kidnap more Americans?

Subtext: it’s a one way trip

Remember to write your Will b4 Leaving

skyrocketing prices? who could afford, the price of a cup of coffee equivalent to a month's worth in Paris

And Africa is not a continent to consider i guess. Need to think
