Has anyone been to Saudi Arabia? What's it like? Seems

I have worked there for 6 months. AMA

To get these things out of the way:
>Why did you go there?
Delicious petrodollars of course.
>Are you a muslim?
No, normal catholic Austrian.

went for umrah (little haj) and also checked out Jeddah. It is very rich and a lot more luxurious than here, looks like Dubai. But the girls have to wear hijabs at all times and at prayer times everywhere is deserted. Essentially it is a non-degenerate Dubai

>>77836902
I worked there for two years.
It's weird but think of it like a very conservative muslim nation with lots of Americanized stuff in it.
The pay is good, really really good and I am not really that qualified for such pay.
I got about 12k€ each month during my time. I saved a lot of the money.

>>77837004
Could you trust anyone?

>>77836902
Buddy of mine saw the police of vice and virtue cut some peoples hands off

>>77837204
Jesus.

>>77837126
Yeah, my employer and other western expats mostly. Apart from co-workers you don't really get to know that many natives normally.

>implying anyone on /int/ leaves their basement, much less travelling!

>>77837108
What did you do there?

>>77837108
>>77837250
What job did u do?

>>77837004
>>77837108
what did you do for benis related issues
are there girls?

>>77837337
I'm a structural engineer

>>77837380
Same as everyone else there, masturbate furiously.

You can even get into serious trouble for talking to a woman you're not related to, so whoring around is rather difficult.

>>77837587
I'm debating if I'd want to live in a sand prison for $15,000/mo.

Maybe 6 months as you did. Enough to pay debt down and buy a bunch of BTC and vanish into Vietnam.

>>77837327
>>77837337
Worked as engineer, I am part of scania.
>>77837380
Fap, you don't want to meddle around with the women there and not many "outside" alone.

>>77837651
Well, 15 grand a month is quite a sum. If you need the money go for it.

Though keep in mind pretty much everything we consider fun or even just normal is strictly forbidden there. Bring books and stuff, you'll need them as there is not much to do apart from wasting money in their enormous shopping malls.

>Saudi Arabia has launched a massive tourism development project that will turn 50 islands and other sites on the Red Sea into luxury resorts.

>It hopes to attract both foreign tourists and domestic visitors as part of efforts to diversify the Saudi economy, as oil prices have fallen.

It's on the way out as a relevant power. I wonder what will happen when the oil really stops.

>>77837783
The answer is obvious; civil war.

>>77837824
They're all too incompetent for that though.

Their army is staffed by foreigners because they don't have the capacity themselves.

>>77837857
Yes... yes... exactly. That's why civil wars in the middle east are as they are. No clear sides, no clear victory, just aimless, mindless shooting and turmoil for decades. When the House of Saud meets its maker, this will be Saudi Arabia.

>>77837895
As if there wasn't enough of that already.

It might at least put down wahhabism slightly.

>Seems weird to me.

>>77838108
I don't know what you do all day. Everything is banned.

>>77836902
It was nice, at least the airport if that counts. Hopefully I'll get a student visa to study Arabic in either Medina or Mecca one day

>>77838142
Watch TV, sports, talk or play video games. What else do you have to do to have fun without risking harm to yourself?

>>77838142
I don't know, either football or video games.

>>77838316
I'm surprised vidya isn't banned as well. Isn't it haram?

>>77838340
Everything is haram.

>>77838363
So why are videogames allowed?

Or is it just that the old folk who make the rules don't understand it?

>>77838400
I don't know man, never thought about it.

>>77838566

>>77838610
In that case I'll fear the Aids.

Nope.

>>77839930
cultural exchange

>>77839930
I want to see what life is like for the wealthy and not a poorfag working manager at a Chipotle

>41 replies and everything told so far about Saudi Arabia is vague as fuck

be more specific, faggots

>>77836902

My dad lives there, he says it's very luxurious, makes a fuck ton of more money there than he ever did in the states.

>>77840069
Buf I make less than your minimum wage.

>>77840187
Is there anyone in your country that is powerful who is not part of the "house of saud" family?

come to my thread if you're interested, arabs and others
>>77839510
>>77839510
>>77839510

>>77840245
No, they control everything.

>>77840298
Is there any sort of national feeling in your country is your country basically a bunch of different arabic tribes?

>>77836902
>have you been there
Yes
>how was it
Bad
I rate 8/10 just because the haram is there

>>77840391
Yes and yes.

>>77840427
What's the haram?

>>77840427
>Egypt
Come on dude your country is India tier.
Widespread poverty and huge population density it's a damn shithole

Saudia is such a glorious country

>end of school year
>lots of bux saved up
>go to jareer and buy a new life-fulfilling smartphone, laptop or tablet

>>77840689
what does that have to with what he said tho?

>>77840753
You know us too well.

>>77840772
your mum

>>77840817
how many indonesian maids you have?

>>77840817
How does it feel knowing that practically everyone on the planet apart from global elites hates your country?

>>77840882
We love them, we're literally sacrificing ourselves for them in Yeah-man

>>77840882
Doesn't feel good.

Do you want democracy and rights in Saudi Arabia? Or would you rather it stay the way it is?

>>77840882
>>77840918
Hey, to be fair, I've talked to a few guys from Saudi Arabia who were decent, there were a couple when I was at university.

I think people more hate the ruling classes and wahhabism than the average Joe (or, er, Abdul).

>>77837587
>>77837764
I've lived there for a few years and students at international high schools were having sex, and the teachers were frequenting bars at compounds. It's silly to compare the lives of locals to expata. You can get sex in Saudi Arabia but your best chance is another time expat.

Or if you lived in the Eastern province you could drive to Bahrain over the weekend for booze and sex.

>>77838108
Are all the unmarried Saudi men or women you know virgins?

>>77840944
Thing is if you give us the choice we'd probably choose a more Islamic and strict regime, I would really to participate and all but we can't be trusted.

I'm honestly surprised that 4chins is allowed there.

>>77841076
Are you married yet? How it feels to live in a country with this kind of marriage and family?

Here in Russia a see a lot of nice girls every day, but it's pretty hard to start talking with them. Not banned of course, but hard.

>>77841165
I'm not married, my parents are pressuring me to, but I don't think I am ready yet.

>>77841267
How old are you?

>>77841267
Must be pretty chill just getting someone else to sort it out though.

>>77841267
Is porn legal in your country? Or saudi people don't fapping?

your country seems to be a dream for nofapers because it has no erotic in mediasphere

Have you ever fucked a girl?

>>77841279
24
>>77841326
Yes, but also it's a little scary not knowing who are you going to spend the rest of your life with, like what's her personality like, what's she into, what are her hobbies.

>>77841328
They can't block them all.

>>77841267
Do you know any wife material women? Or are your parents pressuring you to marry random women? That being said, how do Saudi couples even meet each other?

>>77841328
It's illegal but all that's stopping people from viewing internet porn is weak censorship that can be easily bypassed.

>>77841490
She's probably fine. I mean, I'd imagine your parents would know roughly what sort of girl you'd like.

In any case, it's easier than the fucking disaster that is trying to get a GF normally.

>>77841490
People don't going into divorce?

>>77841570
Mostly arranged marriages, some meet on social media, some meet in the workplace.

>>77841779
They do

>>77841913
Do you get to see what the Woman looks like before hand? How common are marriages between people of different economic classes? Do Women never marry down?

>>77842017
Yes, no and no.

Riyadh was a checkpoint of a school trip through Asia when I was in middle school, we stayed 2 days by an hotel near the airport, everything looked oversized and spacious, it was may so it wasn't cold, the atmosphere was like that of an alien planet though.
