What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Jeddah. They wrote...

"One of the most challenging aspects of living in Jeddah for expats is the strict adherence to Islamic law and customs. This includes the dress code, which requires women to cover their hair and body, and the segregation of men and women in public places. Additionally, the conservative nature of the culture can make it difficult for expats to adjust to the local customs and norms. Furthermore, the lack of freedom of speech and expression can be a challenge for those used to more open societies. Finally, the language barrier can be a challenge for expats, as Arabic is the official language of the country," commented one expat who made the move to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
