Sounds like Scientology, but with guns and suicide vests.

Did they have a link to donate to Hillary Clinton? She loves and supports Saudi Arabia.

I cant agree more with your statement. Spent a lot of time in the middle east and those MFer's were lazy.

I have been there before as a guest of the government and was treated like a king. Much better than what my company would probably let me expense. But again, it may be from a different Ministry and they have a different budget or something.


Family member of mine was a guest of the government and he stayed in a nice hotel. If you're a guest of the government, your travel in SA becomes a lot easier.

Could not pay me enough money to return to that part of the world.


If they were to pay me a quarter million a year, I'd do it temporarily. I could probably do it, since my company does a lot of work in Saudi, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I'd do it for a year, and then buy a house with cash.

Memorize two paragraphs from the koran.

Book is organized by length so you can pick two easy ones.

Don't lie and tell them you are down with Allah. They will put you up in a nice room with a bunch of little boys. They will expect you to enjoy them. It's a trap

Prayers will generally last 10-20 minutes with the exception of the Friday afternoon prayer

I've stayed at Mövenpick in Dammam, Le Meridien in Dammam, Ritz in Riyadh, DoubleTree in Riyadh and also the Mövenpick in Riyadh. I can post pictures later tonight to prove how full of shite this is if need be.

This. I stayed at nice hotels in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Place is horrible, however. There's a constant 'funk' or pervasive collective angst (anxious sense of doom and gloom) hovering over everything. To be fair, this country felt that way when I came back in 2012, as well.
