Re: Saudi "Hardship" Premium vs UAE Salary?
Compare comparable and relevant things.
What acts you are missing? Participation in votings? protests & demnonstrations? Getting unemployment or large-family allowance?...
What your university-aged son is doing here? Or you are talking about yourself?
Foreigners here are deprived of a lot of acts every other country allows the expatriates.

That's got to be bollocks surely?
I've not been, I will soon enough for work but expect it to be far from enjoyable. 99% of people who have been there are unlikely to be wrong about it not being particularly nice...looking at it logically.

To Henry Gale
Just out of curiosity, where are you from?
I thought initially you were an American from your user name, but clearly English (even American English) isn't your first language.

I just spat coffee on my computer screen.

Saudi can be enjoyable but it takes quite some effort. I'm going to be quite disappointed if I don't end up going back, especially as I was hoping to get to Mada'in Saleh this autumn!

1. Protests
2. Or that all expatriates leave whether it is the blue collar or any other.
For sure no one would leave. But can we call this fair play. This is called manipulation.
Sometimes you can't even lead any local in a queue; although this is very rare.
You can't complain to police if the complaint is against a national.
You can't own a house. And the list goes on and on ....
On the other hand in a compound life you encounter less locals. It is safer so you hardly have to contact police. And already have a good enough house in the compound.
You aren't the only expatriate here. As I mentioned earlier your if you live a compound life you don't know much.
If it really is that good place for expatriates then why is it that other Gulf countries hold more expatriates than here.
And is this all you could question from the previous post?
You are true that expatriates are not the citizens. There is a huge difference. But again remember we were comparing. And as far as that comparison matters, well .....
Thank you for your time.

Even Indian English isn't my first language. That should give a clue. Can't disclose much.
Hope that serves your curiosity.

Perhaps you should go back to tending your farm in Kansas...
