Expat Life in Saudi???

16 years ago

I am wondering ifI should consider applying to teach at an International school in Saudi...initially I thought it would be awful for me as a woman and for my children but then I've read on the boards that it's a good life there...

The schools we're looking at to apply to are International Schools Group or Saudi Armaco schools and the packages just look so good!

What is it like? Can you leave the compound? Are the travel opportunities good? How oppressive is it for women to go out in public??

Thanks so much! I'm going to post this on the Dubai forum as well. :)
