Working & Living in Saudi Arabia

One of the popular cities in Saudi Arabia is Riyadh. This old provincial town was transformed into a place of sophisticated technology, modern architecture and highways after the discovery of immeasurable petroleum deposits in the kingdom more than 75 years ago. That triggered its development, making it the capital and the largest city of Saudi Arabia and now known as the kingdom’s commercial, education and transportation center. Riyadh's popularity increased because of its services where they offer accommodation dining, entertainment and shopping on commercial or even residential in Olaya district. The beautiful 19th-century Masmak Castle is made of clay and mud brick fort, thick walls and four watchtowers. It played a major part in Saudi Arabia's history. Tourists enjoy visiting the Al Faisaliyah Center, which was the first skyscraper built and the second tallest building in Saudi Arabia.

Culture & Getting Around

Working and living in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be both difficult and frustrating at times, particularly for females. Working hours are long, communications can be difficult and most newcomers will experience a degree of culture shock. It is essential to come equipped with an open mind, a sense of humour, and a positive attitude. You must be prepared to give yourself time to assimilate to the new culture, the new environment and to give yourself time to make new friends.

• Women must wear an "abaya", an all-black dress that covers your neck down to your ankles with a head scarf. You will not be required to wear this when you are on the hospital compound, however, you will have to wear this when you are in public. Men are to wear loose fitting clothing that come to the ankles and wrists.
  
  Shorts are prohibited for both men and women. In some parts of the country, tourists can be seen wearing jeans and t-shirts, but it is better to follow their custom to avoid being stared at. Moreover, clothing policies must be followed at all times especially when you are out on the streets otherwise Muttawas or the religious police will arrest you.
  
  
• Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. There are taxi’s available and the public transport system is good.
  
  
• Essentials like sunglasses, hats, sunscreen and sandals or tennis shoes are necessary to avoid the heat and the sun. Bringing water with you while you are strolling along Saudi is needed especially if you can't stand the heat.

• Shopping; malls and bazaars are open until midnight to cater to your every shopping need. Restaurants with delicacies that offer Iranian, Asian and American cuisines are available to satisfy your hunger pangs.
  
  
• The sights you can see in Saudi are mostly historical places. The ruins of Mismak Fort are a great place to explore the old Saudi. Wandering inside the remains of the old building gives a nostalgic feel to those who go there. The water tower and old dirriya are also good sight-seeing places.
