Finally decided to NOT Listen :-)

I'm glad you posted  about your experience, but I'm sorry that it happened to you. This is why I can't stand the people that post vile things about saudi - (when most of it isn't true) because in the end it can really affect someone's life. There is no country on this planet perfect - this isn't paradise, but this country has great things about it, the people in reality are my fave here and I encourage you to meet some locals. there are some things I cant stand -  but ya take the good with the bad. Most western expats on here are a bunch of whiners- i'm sorry to say.

I wish you the best.

peace

Thank u for the word of wise Abby

If false information is posted, hit the report button and it will be removed.

I will definitely try my best to immerse in Local Culture. I'm looking at taking Arabic lessons as well. I want to apply myself to this experience & not complain about how this is not like "home"... I want to be happy and to create life long memories.

Alhimdulillah, it is so nice to hear about good experiences! I will be moving there next summer inshaAllah and look forward to all KSA has to offer.

I won't say living her is bad, and I don't recommend it. No I won't say that at all!
the living cost here is cheaper, but you need some energy to cope with the society.

Good luck with your new job! : )

Hey good luck!
Good for you, and always go with your gut feeling.
