Millions of foreigners have already decided to live and work in this monarchy,enjoying the experience. Most Saudi girls that travel outside the kingdom are liberal at heart and will not wear the veil, instead choosing trendy designer clothes.
Another common method is doing the name drop through an open window. I wired money to a foreign account. Nejd, ruled by the House of Saud, conquered the Hejaz in 1925 and, in 1932, formed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As an international school teacher in Saudi Arabia, I want to bust a myth: Saudi Arabia, in my opinion, is not a hardship posting. Particularly, it is often portrayed as being extremely challenging for women, but some of the scare stories are inaccurate. For example, women can ride around in a taxi without a chaperone, and there are increasing numbers of women working in Saudi now. Indeed there are huge numbers of well-educated Saudi women completing university. The country is undoubtedly changing. As a long-term expatriate I find myself getting irritated by the way that the kingdom is often misrepresented by Western mainstream journalism and television news. It gets little coverage except when there is a bad news story, such as perceived human rights violations, or a story about women not being allowed to drive. My adventure as a school leader working in international schools began in Jakarta, Indonesia, where I met my wife, Wija, and we had our daughters, Laurie and Luana. Since then I have worked in Oman and, most recently, Saudi Arabia. The experiences that you gain working overseas are fantastic and it is certainly not something you just put up with to save money. Learning about new cultures, visiting different places and working with local people — as well as expatriates from all around the world — broadens your perspective and makes you more open-minded. But if you can survive on the roads and laugh at the racetrack-approach to driving: the reversing at speed, the overtaking left and right and the total non-use of indicators, then you might find Saudis are friendly, generous and hospitable people and not like the stereotypes you might have been presented with. Certainly someone coming to work or live in Saudi should do their homework and come mentally prepared, but look carefully at their sources of information because they may well not be balanced. I discovered some new favourite foods too. There are many different kinds, but my preferences are the dark, Madina dates, which are not too sweet. The other thing that I got to like was the za'atar — a flavouring mixed from oregano, thyme, salt and sesame, which is smothered on breads and croissants. The local hammour fish is also fantastic. I found Saudi a relatively easy place to live in, but I had already experienced long stints as an expat. I had learnt a lot about patience and dealing with frustration — and through my work at an international school, teaching Saudi students the International Baccalaureate, I learnt a lot about Arab culture. But do not take my word for it, there are many expatriates who stay in Saudi for a long time, or even return, and men and women do adjust and enjoy their lives here. Jeddah is a pleasant city to live, with a pleasant climate. There are some excellent compounds, like the one we lived on, which are very comfortable. You are free to live life in a very similar style to how you live at home and you are not cooped up in your compound all weekend. There are plenty of private beaches, corniche cafés and restaurants. Expats enjoy Jeddah because of the sunshine, the swimming pool lifestyle and the safety. For families, particularly with young children, it can be a great adventure. Despite the caution and slow adaptation to embracing tourism — there is still no tourist visa yet — Jeddah is a cosmopolitan city with many nationalities of expats. There are vast contrasts and discrepancies in income and housing, however. There are impoverished areas of the city while the swankiest homes are the size of five-star hotels with gardens full of pet tiger cubs and preening peacocks. It is a common sight to see an old Chevy or Lincoln chugging around the streets as well as a new Dodge weaving through the traffic. The Harley Club cuts across cultures and is a combination of Arab and Western riders who drive across the magnificent landscape together and share coffee and tales of adventure. The frustrating aspects of Jeddah, such as the restaurants and shops closing for prayer times and the apparent conservatism and conformism, are really a matter of perspective and mindset. If you embrace and enjoy what is different and new, you will find interest in the same things that perhaps were maddeningly frustrating at first. Saudi might not suit some — but I would certainly consider returning in future. For now though, it is off to Dubai for my family and I, for a different chapter in our love affair with the Middle East.
