Dear Salymk,
I will tell you what I am aware of, and I can be wrong hence you have to do your own homework.

Firstly, you cannot visit Saudi Arabia because you have a friend.
You need to have a blood relation who is working in Saudi Arabia.

This blood relation will have to obtain a visa (obtaining a visa in itself is a hectic process here) for you and your family (all those who are visiting) and send the visa to you.

If you have daughters above 18 then they will never get the visa.

You need to check with your connections in Saudi Arabia and also with Saudi Embassy near you to know the exact procedure.

Thanks,
Mazher
