you are right. you need to stop this before it gets worse. bullies do not prey on people who are weaker than them. they prey on people who do not stand up for themselves regardless of how strong or weak they are.

first try to get help from someone who has authority over him. if that does not work then try again and again. once you have exhausted that avenue then no one can blame you if you fight back. while this stage is going on do not appear weak. appear confident and strong. do not cower away from him if you are near him. do not let him affect you and your life in anyway. example...do not take different routes when walking to avoid him. do not cross over the street if he is on the same side as you. always be ready and alert of his presence. maintain distance from him at least up to an arms length. this is so that if he does try to strike you or lay his hands on you in anyway then you will have time to react. always be ready and alert to any strikes etc when near him.

once you have exhausted the first avenue then the time might come to fight him. if you follow what i said above then he will be more wary of you and your confidence. this will already give you a better edge in the fight. psycology plays a big part in street fights. try not to fight him on his terms or on his turf. try to fight him when his friends are not with him and you are with your friends. when fighting him give it all you got. do not give up. even if you lose then get up and fight him some more. even if you lose then fight him some other day. if he carries on bullying you (which i doubt after all this) THEN FIGHT HIM AGAIN ON THE SPOT!

inshallah if you do this then he will back off very soon. but remember there are always consequences to fighting. you will need to be mentally strong enough to handle the aftermath. but remember the aftermath will soon fade. but if you carry on letting him bully you then he will bully you for the rest of the time you are with him. maybe even others will start bullying you as well as you will be seen as a soft target. maybe later on in life you will let others bully you too. dont let anyone bully you!

another thing you need to take into consideration. i hear that non saudis are very badly treated in saudi. maybe you might be discriminated against by the authorities for standing up to yourself. what will be the consequence of this?

do not think that just because he is bigger or stronger than you that he is a better fighter than you. it is not just about strength and size but also about skill. understand the weaknesses and strengths of your opponent and fight accordingly.
