I am quite sure she can do that. One of my female friends here brought her sons and husband to KSA as a dependants. Can ask her for more details if needed.

Hi Vindi

Please could you ask your colleague what are the procedure and requirements? Thanks

She needs to ask her employer to make a family type job contract for her. This will give her a legal opportunity to bring the family members in KSA (along with many benefits for them as a free yearly tickets and medical insurance). I am not sure if this option is available for her job position, better ask the employer in advance.
