I spent some time in Riyadh felt 100% safe, so did my GF. Planning to come back to check out Jeddah. And we weren't in a hotel...I was looking for the real experience, so we rented from a local and stayed in a residential area, I didn't see another tourist in our neighborhood. We were walking all over the city freely until 5AM, only met helpful locals.
If I compare that with London, Paris or basically any US city, there I felt danger all the time, but extremely at night.
