If you live outside Saudi Arabia and need a Saudi IP address, for example to reach a Saudi website that only opens from inside the country, you need a VPN with a Saudi Arabia location. Five providers list one. All five are virtual: you get a Saudi IP address, but the server itself is in another country.
| VPN | Saudi location | Where the server really is | Free? |
|---|---|---|---|
 Surfshark | Riyadh, 8 servers | Not disclosed (Surfshark’s server list marks it virtual) | No |
 Private Internet Access | Riyadh | Dubai, UAE | No |
 CyberGhost | Riyadh, 14 servers | Marked virtual; CyberGhost’s support pairs it with Dubai | No |
 ExpressVPN | Saudi Arabia | Not stated | No |
 Proton VPN | Saudi Arabia | London, UK | Paid plans only |
What a virtual location means
A virtual location gives you an IP address registered to the country you pick, while the server sits somewhere better connected. Proton calls these Smart Routing servers and explains that they behave like its other servers. For most websites, a Saudi IP address is all that matters. A virtual server is a little slower than a real one in Riyadh would be, and a service that checks more than your IP address may still notice that you are abroad.
VPNs without a Saudi location
NordVPN (nearest: UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar), Windscribe (no virtual locations at all; nearest: UAE), Mullvad, TunnelBear and PrivateVPN do not list Saudi Arabia. VPN Gate’s volunteer list had no Saudi servers when we checked, and it changes all the time.
Which one to pick
- Most devices: Surfshark or Private Internet Access, both unlimited.
- Clearest about where the server is: Private Internet Access (Dubai) or Proton VPN (London).
- Longest refund: CyberGhost, 45 days on 6-month and 2-year plans.
- If you also want a strong free plan elsewhere: Proton VPN, but its Saudi location needs a paid plan.
Follow each website’s terms. Some services do not allow access from outside the country even with a local IP address. A VPN changes your IP address; it does not change the rules you agreed to.
