Salam, Shalom, Hi! My Name is Salman, born & brought up in Saudi Arabia. as much as I hate it here in Saudi Arabia, I am madly in love with this land. its home for me, anywhere else is another nice place. I'm used to being choked by dust storms and fried by the summer sun and frozen to the bone during winters because of low humidity levels in Riyadh. its just where I belong. I wouldn't even feel at home anywhere else.
I joined expat.com on 15 July 2009.

I can't imagine living anywhere else after getting used to this country, waking up every day and enjoying day to day life with its ups and downs, the morning traffic not to mention the crazy drivers, the dusty atmosphere and non the less a workaholic community. but once your out in the desert on the weekeneds, I forget it all and enjoy the silence and serenity of the peaceful heaven.
Hospitable nature of the natives, quiet life style, The Desert is so close from the city (actualy the city is IN the Desert), Soccer is the main sport. :P
Dusty air, heavey traffic, crazy drivers, high tempretures.
