Re: Saudi Arabia – A Free Nation

@Madhanee

I wana discuss the freedoms a foreign worker has in Saudi Arabia. What I know from data is that 1/3 of the people in Saudi Arabia are foreign workers (roughly 7 million). What are some of the freedoms they enjoy? In particular:

-Do they have right to practice their religion?
-Are there any public movie houses?
-Can women drive around?
-Do women have to cover themselves to go out?
-Can women go out alone?

Let’s keep this educational. I would be very interested to hear from those who live there, or have lived there. And those who lived there, would they like to go back if the opportunity presents itself (females in particular). Thanks.

I will asnwer accordingly…

1. Yes
   2.No (but if u live in Khobar, u can always drive 30mins to Bahrain)
   3.NO (big times turn off!)
2. U can’t go skimpy now c’mon. Wear an abaya…its actually pretty convenient (headgear can be optional)
   5.Yes.

I’ve lived there…and yes if provided the opportunity I would love to go back. But ofcourse my husband would rather die than go back
