I've spoke at some length about this to my muslim colleagues when I lived in London; the downsides of living in Saudi Arabia [especially for woman] are considerable, especially for someone who is used to a more westernised life.

The biggest issue [and the one I alluded to] is that there is a definite racial pecking order in Saudi Arabia :

Top - Saudis, other gulf arabs
Westerners
Lebanese, Egyptians etc
Pakistanis
Filipinos
Bangladeshis
Africans

orld. Ok, you won't save much money but it will broaden your horizons considerably.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but well done on doing some research and asking for opinions first. Best of luck !

I think I am going to reject the offer now coz i am really worried about the salary after speaking with many people within saudi and everybody said its not a expat package at all with this salary..



Now how can i tell employer that i am not taking the offer due to low salary package and housing allowance is very low.
