Is it safe for westerners to work in Saudi Arabia? |
Travel Info My husband has been offered some work in saudi arabia doing IT training. I have read lots on the internet about the risks, but would like to know from anyone in saudi western or otherwise what the real truth is. I think many western news and TV pinpoint the bad parts. Also I know tourists are not common in Saudi at the moment but would it be permitted for me to travel with him too. I am aware of the need to cover up thats not a problem i would expect to have to adhere to local rules and customs. Thankyou in advance. Travel Tips yes its very safe.. its all depends on were your going to live and how.. their are many Americans in Saudi.. and they all live in huge compounds with a totally western fell inside, if u need specific info ..plz email me.. and dont forget to add an email at the end, because i dont usually use yahoo mail.. Others Um its as safe as going to any new country however you will have to cover up when your in public and not wear make-up.I dont think there are many tourists but im sure there are lots of foreigners actually living there.um if you have children girls dont have to cover up and there are international schools there. It is a bit risky and depends on the job ur husband has been offeredBut i hear the shopping there is great!! i lived in an arabic country for 6 years it not that dengerouse, he can be safe dont worry for you i think they would you go with him by visit visa , I am not westerner, but I am in touch with many of them. Currently yes, it is safe, very safe. the government is seriously taking measures to protect them. But the question is, when the violence will start again? No body knows, like what happened 1996, 2003; there were no signals before it occur. Regarding the visit visa, I think it is possible, go to www.mofa.gov.sa you will find all the visa requirements. Yes there is no problem at all. I'm sure he'll be fine. Have a safe journey! I dont think it is safe. Westerners are being shot dead there and we dont know b'cz the news doesnt leak from govt. So, be careful. |
