Saudi Renews Syria Travel Warning
Saudi Arabia on Sunday renewed a warning to its citizens to leave Syria and not to travel to the country, hit by over a year of deadly unrest.
"Due to the continuing deterioration of the security situation in Syria, the foreign ministry renews its warning to all citizens from travelling to Syria," the ministry said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
It also "urged citizens there to leave."
The kingdom, which has repeatedly called for world action against Damascus and called for rebels there to be armed, issued a similar warning in November.
Saudi Arabia was one of six Gulf countries to expel Syria's ambassadors and withdraw their own in February.
The following month it shut down its embassy in Damascus and withdrew all of its staff.
More than 11,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Syria's President Bashar Assad began in March 2011, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.

Oh Please spare us the BS, all the killings and assassinations in Lebanon came from your camp. You didn't spare anyone, you killed presidents, ministers, clergies, judges, reporters, innocent civilians, etc....so let's leave Saudi Arabia alone and focus on the domestic terrorists hiding behind M8 Camp!!

If the syrians are fleeing the country, why would the saudis go there. I guess they still feel safer in Syria.

Lets seeee as a saudi who's been in Syria for years i probably would be in Syria for Business not Pleasure and I really don't want to loss the business (even though the economy really sucks now) + I probably have family with me too? Ahhhh forget IT!!! lets just forget our lives in Syria and pack up and go in 24 hours... Im Lebanese but most likely that is one of a few reasons that would be going through their minds. But your camp who lost NO one through assassination would be very happy to commit a real Terrorists act and would really like to have a Bullet fly through there minds instead.... you EVIL March 8 Loser Hypocrite Terrorists.

For your info, I have no camp or a farm like you. All your leaders mean nothing to me. But to you guys, without them, all of you are nothing. In case you didn't know, Syria didn't have the fighting 24 hours ago. So in your case you will chose your business before the safety of your family. I guess your logic is understandable.

All my Leaders Mean nothing to Me too... As a business man I would probably be trying to stay and hope things get better... But no ... ok let get out of here... but i need to figure out a way out safely as this butchering thug of the Baath might hurt my family and friends... don't think things are as simple as you make it out to be.
wahabism and farsis are the same devil...they are feeding each other,the best solution is to fight each other till extinction. ,the world would be a better place.
