Not sure if it is late but in a flight that may be carrying the Saudi national soccer team for what the Internet says is an 8 June soccer match for a World Cup qualifier against the Australian 'Socceroos', B773ER HZ-AK28 looks by its trajectory to be heading from RUH to ADL with arrival late this afternoon, Thursday 1 June 2017.
I assume that Saudia planes have been here before carrying members of its Royal Family or those with petrodollars, but the airline might be an infrequent visitor to our shores.
I gather it remains impossible or incredibly difficult for a non Muslim to enter Saudi Arabia for tourism (and impossible to visit Mecca) although there are suggestions that at times two or three day transit visas (similar to mainland communist China) have been issued.
