You must see the people in Ssudi Arabia. They are a very hospitable bunch of people and sometimes while I was in Starbucks if it was quiet. I would say hello to some of the woman. Some are a little shy and some do not mind talking to you at all. One day my friend Petula went to order our drinks and while I waited, I said hello to two young Saudi girls on their own. The more I talked them the more I was interested in them as people. Petula became interested too and we all chatted for quite some time about life and life in general for both expats and Saudi's (particuarly females) alike. The girls were only young and had just started their teritary education, they were sisters as we were the only four in the shop, they removed their veils and started to tell us what they were studying and how they entertained themselves in such a restrictive place. Saudi is a melting pot filled with many...
If you are into shopping and living i KSA, why not dive into the habit of spending hard earned cash -many of us "visitors" have a habit of doing this. I would say that Riyadh, where I used to live, is a town with some fancy stores where you can spend money and also strike good bargain.
i have been to the eastern province 2 or 3 times perhaps on business trips, so haven't seen much nor do i know much either. but the eastern region is known to have 25% of the oil reserve in the world. i don't believe that myself,lol. anyway, it's a small region and mainly industrial and very westernised with loads of compounds and the little Aramco village in the heart of the province, and a nice tidy corniche too.the main cities are Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and they are very small and close to each other, connected to the outer world by their international airport, located in dammam.The Saudi Shia are known to reside in this area and they form around 10% of the population, with their established business in that area.the good thing i like about this area is its closeness to the international border with bahrain. the saudi-bahrain causeway serves as a runaway for saudis to chill out from...
