Saudi Arabia Phone Numbers: Format, Area Code & Validation Guide

Saudi Arabian phone numbers follow a closed numbering plan of ten digits, starting with either '053,' '054,' '055,' '056,' '058,' '059,' '011,' '012,' '013,' '014,' '016,' or '017' followed by seven digits.

To call a landline in Saudi Arabia from another country, dial the international access code (e.g., 011 from the USA), followed by 966 (Saudi Arabia's country code), the area code without the leading 0, and the subscriber number. For example, if the area code is 011 and the number is 1234567, dial 011-966-11-1234567.
