Hi guys!
Im gemma and im nearly 23. Currently living in the uk.. but ive recently had a job offer for a salon in saudi arabia, jeddah.
I am obviously overwhelmed but really excited at the opportunity. Ive never been to saudi, or anywhere in the middle east for that matter.
I just thought i would sign up and ask for any advice anyone can give me?
What i should and shouldnt do?
What would you advise i bring apart from the obvious clothes etc.?
What to avoid bringing?
Anything about jeddah and its laws and rules.
thanks guys!

All these points are discussed in this forum several times and there is a section with "Do's & Dont's" of KSA. For the rest just search using the custom Google search bar on top and you will get answers.

Hi there!

You're soooo enthusiastic and excited.. get your bearings and read up A LOT then come back to the forum w more specific questions.  Main thing is that you are coming to very different place unlike anywhere else in the WORLD. It's all in your attitude. ..seeing the glass half full is way better!

Look forward to hearing from you!!!
