re: Expat Life in Saudi

I worked offshore there for a while, but spent alot of time on land in Khobar. You could actually walk down the streets at 9 at night and not have to worry about anything. You can lay a $100 bill on your nightstand and they would actually pick it up and clean up under it and put it back. Just about all the restaurants and fast food deliver. I felt alot safer there walking at night than I do in the US.
The hot over there is different. Yes it gets hot but not as humid. I would try it out if I were you. I think the city I was in was close to Bahrain. Good luck
