Go to www.doe2.com/weather. There is at least a few sites for Saudi Arabia, I believe. You can also download weather from EnergyPlus and convert it to DOE-2 TMY weather.

Jonas, Here's a link to a company that I've heard of, but not used, that
markets weather data and software http://www.meteotest.ch/

First place to look is at the EERE site.

http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/Weather_data.cfm

If there is nothing available see if the countries have a national
weather service.

See if the EERE site has a weather file for the location:

See if the country has a weather service, here is one source:

Meteonorm is a good program but should be used with caution. If there is
no local weather station for the city/site you are investigating the
program interpolates weather information from other stations that are
close by. Depending on the proximity of other weather stations, the
software can provide accurate enough data to use in simulation, in some
cases it provides data that is inaccurate.
