@modesa2001@interesting3@raghad5us Thank you all for answers. I also want to ask how living in Saudi Arabia is like because according to the strict law it seems to be quite hard.

well if you're a female it will be harder but since you're not Saudi i don't think you will face a problems, it's just that you can't drive, drink and stuff like that

@raghad5us yeah I read about it. I have also heard that people- Christians can't have the Holly Bible and crosses ( these that we wear as necklaces) and in case of tourists these things would be destroyed at an airport.
And what's abaya? Is it something like hijab?

if you really need the bible just download it on you phone/laptop
i don't think you will be able to get a cross with you.. even if it was a piece of jewlery!
if you will live in a closed compound.. like one of the many Saudi Aramco has.. then you will be able to drive and roam around without an Abaya or even a hijab.
However you will have to wear an abaya the moment you leave the compound.
Hope this helps :)

Yes because you most likely won't drive your own car! It's very common to just hire someone else to drive for you! It is a bit unfair but it does make some sense.

its about culture not religion, because One third of saudi arabia is desert, and our men think it's too dangerous for women to drive alone in it, if something happens to her car while she alone, maybe man come to help her, and someone see her with strange man, then the talking start, and it's the end for that girl ..the men in my country don't allow that anything happen to their women, so they drive for you or hire someone else to drive..I'm a women and I know that hard, but the Arabs men have lot of good point and it cover on it .
