Either way, it seems to me that he's made his mind up. It doesnt appear that he's prepared to take any notice either of people who have been there.

As I said - he may enjoy it. It's his choice. It may be the best experience of his life.

From the people I know who currently live there, and the people I know who used to (as I mentioned - a mixture of Arabs and Westerners) all say otherwise. So you are the first person in more than 20 who I know with personal experience of the country who say it is a nice place.
You're also ignoring blatant facts (re the driving - Saudi is THE most dangerous country in the world for driving. In almost every measurable way, it has the highest death rate on the roads on the entire planet.)
And just to bite at CN again
Mate - if you fat assed Khaleejis and your equally useless kinfolk from elsewhere in the Gulf could get off their thick asses for 10 minutes and do some work (or even have the brain power to figure out how to switch their computers on), then you could kick us all out instead of complaining about us.

Oh, to go back to Al Khobar, to shop at Panda Azzizyah and have to walk past the many staring staring staring (did I mention staring) men, even in an abiyah, no makeup and looking like I just crawled across broken glass.......I miss it...........NOT.
All it did was make me think, ah, on my last day, exit visa in hand, Im coming in here and lifting my shirt, give them something to really stare at. And thats just one of the downsides..........lol.......
