Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia rise through the ranks of United Nations report prepared stands at 58th in the world, and 4th in the Gulf region in preparation for e-government, according to United Nations reports. In particular, has been ranked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all over the world for its online service index 75th. While this is still modest for the aspirations of the Saudi government to see to the implementation of e-government in 2013. The aim of this paper is to study the activities of e-government in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to identify the factors currently impeding the development and implementation of e-government in this country. While issues such as technological issues, cultural and organizational, and social that should be considered and handled carefully by any government considering adoption in Saudi Arabia, this research indicates that factors such as access to the Internet and the integration of various government agencies also constitute a major challenge of e-government to be implemented in Saudi Arabia, and the implementation of e-government is the lack of strategic frameworks, leadership, and legal and regulatory issues related to infrastructure
