Re: Working In Saudi Arabia For First Time
I can remember landing at Heathrow in the 90's from Jeddah [the best part was walking up the stairs onto the plane at Jeddah knowing that as soon as the wheels were up the booze would be flowing] and as the plane is taxying off the runway our Arab Friends start to get up and collect their luggage; cue a Air Hostess bellowing at them in a very loud voice to "SIT DOWN NOW!!!!!" - result : some very pissed off Saudis who have just been humiliated by a woman shouting at them. Ah memories...

Re: Working In Saudi Arabia For First Time
heard it a few times, my mate tells a variation whereby expat pissed off on the plane by 23 kids volunteers to take the Saudi family passports as he has a friend on passport control, proceeds through and chucks the Saudi's in the bin on the other side
