Hi everyone, I always wonder whats on the minds of (going to be) °µÍø½ûÇøs coming to Saudi Arabia, what image have they drawn in their minds about this country, things they have heard. now why I ask this is because many people have the wrong idea, and ...

I almost forgot, a western co-worker when he was in a car accident, he was 100% to blame because the police said, and I quote " If you were not in our country, this accident would not have happened " That person lost his job because of it. If you ... Read More

hmmm, my opinion of KSA. Well where do I begin. The way they treat the south asian and indian °µÍø½ûÇøs is a disgrace. Secondly they can not drive if there life depended on it. I drive the abu hydriah everyday and nearly everyday I see a seirous ... Read More
