Saudi Arabia: Rules for Western Women:

Okay, so I'm having little luck finding some answers. I want to know all the rules I need to follow while living in Saudi. I'm and American. Here's what I already know: I have to wear an abaya in public No driving Don't talk to men unless for business (buying food/clothes) No displays of public affection I'm getting mixed reviews about the driver thing though...am I allowed to hire a driver to take me (and my children) to the stores, shopping, school, etc? Some say I can't be in the car with anyone but my husband (but he works!) Others say you can have a driver at your disposal. Who's right?? What else do I need to know? I want to make sure I don't make any mistakes and tick off the religious police (or anyone else for that matter) What about etiquette when out and about? Thanks!

Saudi Arabia: Advice on moving to Yanbu:

My husband is considering taking a job in Yanbu with Parsons. We'd be moving with our 2 small girls. (both under 5yrs old). Wondering if this is a good idea. I'm not concerned with the actual lifestyle, I respect the Saudi's life...I'm more concerned with safety for me and my family. Any advice, tips, info on moving to Saudi would be greatly appreciated!!
