Can I leave KSA and return on a 90 day work visa (with permission from my company and the correct documentation from them.)
The reason why I am asking is that I've yet to receive my Iquama and have booked a return ticket to Egypt for Ramadan.
I have been told I should get my Iquama next week (maybe)....If I don't will I be able to leave?
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the visa sticker on your passport. It usually says *single* entry. If that's the case, your plan won't work.
Of course you can leave if your company processes the exit docs; but you won't be able to come back without having another work visa issued from scratch.

Agree with what TLL said, you cant leave KSA before getting iqama. If you leave then you need to come back on a new visa entirely. Better to get the Iqama, ERE and then leave.
