Quote: Tours by groups of both sexes will be allowed - as long as a father or brother is with any single women under 40. Visitors must follow local customs, and a booklet printed in several languages will be distributed to tourists instructing them on Saudi's strict social traditions.
. . .
All female tourists will be required to dress according to Saudi tradition: covered from head to toe with only their face, hands and feet exposed. And in the most conservative city, the capital, Riyadh, women must wear a black robe over their clothes.

Well, I don' twant to be too cynical, but with all these strings attached, I'd imagine many women( and men) would rather tour Lebanon now than go to KSA...
A saudi once explained to me that the 40-years-old rule in in place because above that age:
"when [note - not "if"] a woman is raped, then there will not be the problem of a baby."
Saudi is the Kingdom of Satan as far as I am concerned.
