Squirm, Saudis, Squirm

The prohibition on "Jewish people" - not to mention all the other visa restrictions, including limits on what women are allowed to do in the Kingdom - have mysteriously disappeared from the Saudi tourism website. Imagine that!

I'd say the House of Saud had been shamed into hiding it, but I really don't think they're capable of feeling shame.

Update: here's the original page, as archived by Google.

I don't know if this paragraph was always there, or if they just added it:

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's visa regulations are available at the Kingdom's Consulates. When erroneous information was noticed on SCT's website, it was removed. SCT regrets any inconvenience this may have caused

This sort of thing does tend to mysteriously make it into the Saudi media by accident, doesn't it? I bet the Joooooooos are doing, because...well, they're Jooooooos.
