Hi All
I have been offered a job in Madinah as an IT teacher in the college of excellence.  Its through TQ Education.  I was just wondering what life is life over there for a western woman?
I am well aware that theres no alcohol and women are not allowed to drive etc but I would like to know more about the living situation, gyms, dress code etc
I will be coming over by myself.  Is their many other westerners to meet when I am their or will I be on my own?
Any information will be much appreciated
Thanks
