My expat journey
Ontario, Saudi Arabia
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
And the desert calls me back... Working by day, exploring Saudi Arabia and promoting concerts and comedy shows by night.
Financial Analyst
It feels like the country is opening up! And I love being part of it!
Its a lot hotter than I remember it!!
Ann Arbor, USA
Took up a scholarship to get a Masters degree in Financial Engineering. Got interested in traveling and photography while there!
Student. Full Time.
Studies were hard, but when I got the time, I could just get up and leave to a new and amazing location. Fell in love with photography!
Coooooold! 20 years in Saudi then 2 years here and I almost froze to death.
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Growing up. Making friendships to last a lifetime. Learning about life. Can't think of a better place to have been raised.
Student, mostly.
Things were slow. Life was easy. Felt like being in a bubble, shielded from the rest of the world.
20 years, I call the country home. Sadly, I could still be kicked out of the country on a whim.

Do and don't in Saudi Arabia by expat.com
Are you living in Saudi Arabia? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Saudi Arabia? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Saudi Arabia? Thanks!
It's not as boring in Saudi Arabia as some might think. though usually you need to stay in the country for a longer time to get introduced to everything going on. As you might understand, alot of what goes on is on the fringes of legality. Read More

I see where you're coming from and I don't blame you. Life in Saudi can be a little difficult for a homemaker. Best suggestion I can give is to find accommodation in a compound (or western complex, as you put it). Compounds can be pretty lively ... Read More
