"I think I will learn a lot and also have lots of fun there," says Ahmed Mohamed. The 14-year-old and his family have accepted a scholarship for high school and college.

After Ahmed Mohamed was arrested, he received thousands of messages of support — including one from President Obama, who tweeted, "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?"

Saudi Arabia's government is hosting Ahmed and his father for an umrah — a pilgrimage to Mecca. He'll also visit relatives in Jiddah.
