Thousands of foreign residents in Saudi Arabia have been queuing to apply for Saudi citizenship.
A recently passed law allows those who have lived in the country for 10 years to be naturalised.
Large crowds built up outside government offices in several Saudi cities as people scrambled to get hold of forms to apply for citizenship.
In some places, the forms ran out early, prompting applicants to try to buy original or photocopied documents.
