Working in the fitness clubs in saudi

Hi im possibly thinking about fitness work over in saudi. I am a highly qaulified fitness pro from the UK with over 10 yrs in all fitness activities. I am looking to travel and work over seas, but im limited to where as the USA, canada australia and NZ require a specialist qualfication and fitness is not included. So i am unable to pursue with these countries, which would have been good as they are english and not strict about covering up in public etc.
I have been in contact with an agency who sends UK fitness pros to either saudi, rhydia, kuwait and india. I have been told by them that my experience and qualifications would give me an extremley good job in their fitness clubs with paid accomodation, food, travel expenses etc. In the UK although im working in fitness i am unable to find a good job that reflects my experience, plus iv always wanted to travel and work abroard in my area of knowledge. Iv got job positions in india from this agency that are taking staff on now, in new delhi, hyderabad, also saudi- rhydia, kuwait and barhain. Im unsure of saudi as the culture is so strict. I know we would be in an expat complex where we can be at ease, but we have a driver to take us to and from work and out shopping. Would this suit some one like me? Also what are the temperatures? Or would india be better as not as strict. Im trying to gather as much info as possible before i commit to an interview at this stage.
Is there anyone who is working in fitness in saudi who can give me advice on the working conditions and social and leisure time. These contracts are initally for 12 months so i need to be sure before i continue pursuing this.
Thanks Clare

Hi thanks. Can you give me any more info about the living complex we would live in. For example does it have good clean accomodation? What are the fitness clubs like are they very high class? Would we an a UK citizen be respected or looked down upon in other words do we get treated rudely as we are working with very rich ladies or is it the opposite, are we highly respected?
What would i be able to do in my time off, can i just get in a taxi and go off somewhere? I believe we would have a driver as well but unsure if thats all the time. How hot is it and is everywhere well air cond?
Thanks Clare
