Esajr: To be absolutely sure check the official travel requirements for Saudi Arabia online or by calling the Consulate. It should tell you how many months remaining must your passport be valid in order to travel there.
Just type Consulate of Saudi Arabia (in whatever country you are in). I believe it's six months if you are a U.S. Citizen...but don't take my word for it! Be absolutely sure...check it out from the right source! S. Arabia has strict requirements to travel there.

Hi,if you will travel as ofw,i think you need to renew your passport,,just inquire your agency,but if you will travel as a tourist,and you will comeback before your passport expired,definitely no problem,goodluck!

It is better to ask DFA directly so that you will not experience any convenience when you are already there.

For all international travels, passport has to be valid for at least 6 months. Saudi Arabia is no different. You already have that much validity.
