Saudi Arabia: American Woman Moving To Dammam???:
Hello ladies,
Damman and Khober are better choices for expats than Riyadh. The eastern province (including Damman and Khobar) is more liberal and people there are more open minded. Life is more organized in general and there are some nice beaches, not to mention that Bahrain is about 45 minutes away!
There will be some challenges of course but I am sure you'll enjoy it and have some fun!
Should you need any help, just send me an Email and I'll be happy to answer your questions.
Cheers,
Omar

Hi there,
If you are in Saudi now and you're going on vacation I think it would be easier for you. There are forms for the ministry of agriculture that you have to fill. Check these useful posts:

Saudi Arabia: Employers holding passport:
This is an old practice and the law now prohibits employers from holding employees passports. However, the overwhelming majority of employers is unaware of the change in the regulations and even if they are they insist on keeping employees. Passports. I worked I always refused to give my passports to my employers for the past 3 years since I knew that I have the right to keep it.
Saudi Arabia: Moving to Riyadh in January:
Hi Sue,
No one checks your phone or even your laptop when you arrive to the airport. You shouldn't worry about it.
There are some nice social activities. I actually go to a weekly social gathering where there is nice people including a South African lady who you might want to mingle with.
I am based in Riyadh. You can drop me an Email once you arrive and perhaps we can arrange something.
Cheers,
Omar

Saudi Arabia: self employed:
You shouldn't be having any problems if you already have a visa to come to Riyadh by your employer or if you are coming with your husband.
The only advise I would give is to offer the service strictly to females in order to avoid any possible trouble.
Have a pleasant stay!
