I would imagine DNS rather than ISP, given that the rest of the site seems to be OK.
Problem is, you can't actually argue or debate with pure blooded Saudis, as they are never wrong. Ever.
It's always YOUR fault not theirs.

My dad takes pilgrims to Saudi.
The Saudis have in recent years changed the way they handle visa requests.
It is apparently less hassle to apply for a visa via their website - if the thing actually worked that is.

The consulate staff are probably just loading the page offline from their temp internet files without realising it.

The Saudis at the embassy just admitted to my dad that this page is down.
No it hasn't been ongoing for a long time and in fact the problem only just happened before my dad walked in. No it isn't their fault that their web site is experiencing some problems.
Don't you just love these bastards ?

Could very well only allow connection via proxy. Same reason you can't access Chinese Internet and they shouldn't be able to access OURS.
