I would venture to say yes that the xbox will work, however the games and DVD's you buy may not, if they are not for the same region as the xbox, the US xbox will be Region 1, don't know what region Saudi Arabia is but I doubt it's region 1. If you could change the region on the xbox itself you should be alright. Other than that, there should be a switch on the AV cables to switch between NTSC and PAL formats, if not then that's something else to look into. Tentatively yes it will work. Check the region and the TV format itself.

No you can't, you must buy voltage converter to play your Xbox 360 US version. Voltage converter is looks like this http://www.voltageconverters.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=VC500W US current voltage is 110 V 50 Hz Asia current voltage is 220 V 60Hz So now you have to buy step down converter, Voltage converter has two type , step down and step up. For you, you have to buy voltage converter step down, when you go to the electric shop, just say i want to buy Voltage Converter Step Down 220 V to 110V ( 500 W) version. OK, i hope this will help you
