Living in Saudi Arabia has lots of perks- from the incredible food, affordable shopping, peaceful lifestyle and great places to see. However, like any other country, there’s a couple of things about living here that might not be so pleasant for some.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s 8 things you’ll never (or barely) hear from people who live or have lived in the Kingdom:<\/p>\n

1. “I love that there’s never any traffic in Jeddah”<\/h3>\n

Wishful thinking?<\/p>\n

2. “No thanks, Abdulla. Petrol is too expensive for me to drive all the way to Riyadh today<\/h3>\n

Self-explanatory<\/p>\n

3. “Let’s all go chill at Al Baik, it’s empty on Fridays<\/h3>\n

Super empty, lots of space and no wait whatsoever\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. “I’d rather have fast-food than kabsa”<\/h3>\n

Saying no to the beautiful and rich tasting kabsa for fries? Highly unlikely!<\/p>\n

5. “Thank you guys for arriving so early to my birthday party”<\/h3>\n

Guests in Saudi always arrive two hours after the time you asked them to arrive, it’s a lifestyle not a rule.<\/p>\n

6. “Lovely weather today”<\/h3>\n

Beautiful and sunny, 40 degrees! I should go for a walk today!<\/p>\n

\"Giphy<\/figure>\n

7.”Who needs the internet or Twitter and FB when we can go out and socialise?”<\/h3>\n

Yeah, we all dislike our social media and love interacting with humans out in the summer heat<\/p>\n

8. “Food is so expensive, let’s just cook something”<\/h3>\n

When SAR50 can feed up to 4 people, this is just something you’ll never hear in Saudi.<\/p>\n
