According to Saudi Arabian nationality system, you are eligible to apply for Saudi Arabian citizenship since you have a Saudi father. Specifically, Saudi Nationality Regulation stipulates in Article 1 that "A Saudi is anyone born, whether in Saudi Arabia or abroad, to a Saudi father."

The law further states in Article 8 that individuals have the right to choose Saudi nationality when they reach maturity, provided they fulfill the following conditions: permanency in Saudi Arabia on reaching maturity, good conduct, not previously sentenced to prison for a moral crime for a period exceeding six months, and proficiency in Arabic. In your case, as you are not yet of the legal age of maturity, these conditions are not immediately relevant.

Furthermore, according to Article 10, if you choose at the age of maturity to retain your Saudi Arabian nationality, a request should be submitted within one year of reaching the age of maturity.

Therefore, in theory, as a person with Saudi Arabian lineage on your father's side, you should be able to visit and apply for citizenship in Saudi Arabia using your Moroccan passport. However, please note that the implementation of these laws can vary and it may be necessary to consult with a legal representative in Saudi Arabia for the specifics on how these laws are interpreted and applied.

Please also note, a decision to pursue Saudi Arabian citizenship might have implications on your current Moroccan citizenship, depending on respective nationality laws. It is recommended that you also study Moroccan law in this regard.
