Introduction
I'm an American woman who moved to my husband's native Saudi Arabia in Oct. 2007. The move has been both interesting and challenging. Adapting to the new culture and way of life here has been difficult because although parts of this country are very modern, many things about it seem ancient. It's hard to understand the reasons for a lot of things here and I don't know that I ever will.
I joined expat.com on 01 February 2008.

Expat experience
My Saudi husband and I actually retired to KSA. Most people move here to work and then go back to their homelands.
There is plenty to do all the time. The Red Sea offers lots of activities. The people of Saudi Arabia are among the friendliest, kindest and most generous I have ever met anywhere. The photography opportunities are endless. Food - great restaurants, fresh seafood - Jeddah is a Foodie's paradise.
* It's very hot. Having to wear the abaya makes it even hotter. * It's very dusty. There is construction going on all over the city and it makes a mess. * Traffic is a nightmare. Many roads are blocked for no apparent reason which makes getting places take twice as long as it needs to.
