Currently living in Saudi Arabia AMA

i heard they treat all non saudi ppl bad

How do Saudis treat Pakistanis n Indians


i heard Pakistanis get treated bad in Saudi

Thanks @mkap for making this thread, my perception of saudi arabia has changed completely :O I stopped following the media anyway.

Have fun being beaten and oppressed.

I am going to Saudi after 2 days. I was so excited
but after watching the execution video, am having second thoughts
I mean how can they do that to someone it's just cruel
I HATE SAUDIARABIA

If your born in the UK and your educated they respect u more than those who are born in Pakistan who cant speak English and are not educated.

Is Arabic that hard then. I heard most westerners struggle with their writing. I have also heard it is extremely easy for Pakistanis to learn Arabic

AMA Its really hot here it was 37 degrees today. Im staying in Jeddah.

Here are some answers to questions al probs get asked:

How long have i been here?
Since November 26th.

When will i be back?
Coming back to the UK at the end of June.

Why did i move here?
My dad got a teaching job here and brought us as he thought it would be a good experience.

Do i agree with the Islamic and political views here?
I don't really have a clue about the political stuff goes on here. As for the Islamic laws the sharia law is only really practised in Makkah, Madinah and Riyadh. other places arnt really strict and are more conservative. i.e women don't have to cover their hair and music is still played and stuff.

Why did your dad choose Saudi over other more liberal Arab states like Qatar and the UAE? Just curious.

Where did you live in the UK before you went to Saudi? Do you know any other families who have also gone out there?

My mum works in Dubai and I'll be visiting for 2 weeks in May (YAY!). I assume you must have been to the UAE too as you live so close - how do you think your experience of living in a more relaxed city in Saudi compares to somewhere like Dubai for example?

Are you still allowed to watch Bollywood movies in Saudi? At home or in the cinema? I know they're popular in all the other Arab countries but Saudi seems like a different ballgame.

Do you get weird looks from people if you go out in public without a hijab/niqaab? Are women generally safe in Saudi?

Also, how are you using the internet from Saudi?

Y u no answer my questions? This is an AMA isn't it?

There are no Jews living in Saudi Arabia (as citizens, at least).

oh im so sorry i didnt see your post

he chose saudi to be closer to Makkah aslo the job role he was offered here was a good one.

I lived in rochdale, no i dont have family here, half my family are hindu so they wouldnt come here and the rest are living in the UK

id say jeddah is more islamic than dubai as dubai is mainly for tourists.

there are cinemas here though av never been to one or seen one. they have a bollywood channel here sometimes i watch a movie off their,

i wear a hijab still but not a niqab. no one bats an eyelid tbh

@mkap


Is it expensive out there?

Slu*s get paid a lot so why are you worried

What if you are a Shia or Ahamdi Pakistani born and raised in the UK ?
I doubt they respect you.

They recently changed the law a year or two ago


Jews are allowed in, so long as they are not members of the global Zionasty conspiracy i.e. Israeli citizens

yeah i read that ToI article


but i think there are still no Jewish citizens (hence the 'as citizens'

Slu*s get paid a lot so why are you worried

One day that will change, Inshallah
