Indonesia maid 'killed in Saudi Arabia'

And yet you didn't missed out on any one. ;)
You seemed quite well informed by your friends.


also in SaudiArabia, there is basic freedom of speech, equal rights for men, women, foreigners, locals and yes women can drive, lay on beach in bikini but only at designated areas.
Yes, their is a law of exit visa but that is just a formality and is applied evenly to both sex evenly.
Idea behind exit visa is to control the criminals escaping after potential crime, but hardly it is applied in its strict form.
Multiple exit-re-entry visa has never been a problem for me and to those known to me.
There is no such law which binds women to take permission from their husbands to leave the house alone.
many female professionals from US come and work in all fields... they work with oil and gas companies, employed in hospitals, education sector etc.
Local women own business... believe it or not once i met a Saudi business women in her factory... where battle tanks were tested.
Saudi is a closed society but it is unique in a sense that foreigners from various nationalities out number locals with 1:100 and most of them come from un-cultured back ground.
There are foreigners who live their till death.



If you can't go to Saudi than they are also not allowed to come to you.
I don't want to comment on your claim of source of information but i wonder why than people go their in millions but you see you were mis-informed.

I can smell Indian from the choice of his words... his interests etc.
As i said in my brief stay at Saudi i have had first hand experience of thousands of Indians.

All the best for your next journey and keep posting once you get back home.


Well there are tons of articles describing women rights on the net and I don't want to post links here and as far as the information available in the public domain women still cannot drive..unless that's changed since your post.

Lastly we DO NOT have any diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and don't see establishing one any time in the foreseeable future. Therefore they are not allowed to come to us either.

I don't disagree that many people from different parts of the world go to Saudi Arabia a friend of mine from the UK worked in Saudi for a German company for 8 yrs and most people like him go to Saudi mainly to make money for a few years and leave as so far as I know that the money is the attraction, have also heard a lot of stories from him about the private compounds etc... I also know others who still go to Saudi for business that it isn't exactly an fun place to be. This is also individual perception and is the impression or perception of a couple of that I know and generally Westerners.

Thanks for your best wishes and off to Colombo in the afternoon to have a few days chill out time there.Heard its a party place so lets see how it turns out ;)
