When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Saudi Arabia, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads living in Saudi Arabia appreciate the country's rich culture and history, as well as its modern infrastructure and amenities. They also enjoy the low cost of living, as well as the fact that the country is a tax-free zone. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the country's strict laws and regulations, as well as its conservative culture, to be restrictive. Additionally, the lack of nightlife and entertainment options can be a downside for some," said a member in Saudi Arabia.
