Used to live there......in a word, no. The country and government are too Islamic Conservative, most marriages there are arranged, and apart from among the western minority there, the dating scene is extremely small. If you did set a online dating website up, it would probably be shut down fairly quickly. Also, remember that alcohol is banned there, and most people there look down on sex before marriage, and that women are made to wear the hijab, and many choose to wear fully covering obayas (think that's how you spell this, not sure, sorry). Also you could be liable for prosecution there, and that really could go badly, they still have alot of capital sharia punishment there. Basically, it's a no go-er very few people, if anyone, would use the site, and it would be in extreme danger of being shut down by the authorities there. Hope this helps :)

On Line dating has flaws and corruption is always a factor in everything man touches . Saudi has different laws regarding marriage than here in the states of America so I would think it would not be as received as it is here unless its arranging marriages for people that have never met. now that would work...wink DINO

Yes, there are such sites. It is different than the american version but has the same idea. The Saudi version is meant for marriage not plain dating..
