Oh, Saudi Arabia. People not living in it might think otherwise, but it was a peaceful and energetic place to grow up in. If you got the chance to live in compounds, there was even more liberty to do things you couldn’t in the Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But there’s definitely some things you can agree to know if you’ve ever lived in Saudi:<\/p>\n

1. You get to save a lot of your salary (if you work there)<\/h3>\n

Food, petrol and rent is inexpensive, so it’s pretty decent to save a lot of what you earn<\/p>\n

2. Probably the best food in all of Gulf<\/h3>\n

Kabsa, shawarmas, mandi and more.. inexpensive and RICH traditional dishes are easy to order but give you that home-y feeling you’ll never get anywhere else.<\/p>\n

3. Obviously, petrol is pretty inexpensive\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Since oil is one of the main income for revenue in Saudi Arabia, it’s no surprise that our petrol can range from SAR 0.45\/Litre\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Al Baik’s food was always the option<\/h3>\n

Jumbo shrimps, the broasted chicken= what more do you need?<\/p>\n
