Hosting in Saudi Arabia as a Foreigner - Procedures and Guidelines?

[Muharrem4]

Hello Airbnb Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out because I'm interested in becoming a host in Saudi Arabia, but I'm a foreigner and I'm not sure about the specific procedures and regulations that apply in this context.

Could any hosts or experienced members in Saudi Arabia shed some light on the following:

1. What are the requirements for foreigners to become hosts in Saudi Arabia?
2. Are there any specific permits or licenses that need to be obtained?
3. Are there any cultural considerations or local customs I should be aware of as a foreign host?
4. Are there any restrictions on the type of properties that can be listed?

Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. I'm eager to ensure that I follow all the necessary steps and provide a welcoming experience for guests in Saudi Arabia.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Warm regards,

M. Ali from Berlin
