Unlikely - this footprint map:

h**p://www.geo-orbit.org/easthemipgs/fpalbc2.html

shows that none of the beams goes anywhere near Saudi Arabia.

You need to move about 3000 miles eastwards!

Not only that, but it is probably pretty close to being below the horizon.

The lyngsat sat tracker suggested about 10 degrees above the south eastern horizon
