When I retired from the USAF, Lockheed offered a job in Saudi at what could only
be described as an exorbitant salary ($150K plus) to go work as a C-130 Radar
Tech. I was an extremely qualified AN/APN-59E Search Radar tech while in
uniform. The only advice that they constantly talked about was going to Saudi
ALONE. Take 2 years and do it solo. It took less resources on their part & was
"less problematic" on your part. They also recommended going from your work
area directly back to the enclosed compound they maintained, in their bus, to
"remain out of trouble with the local officials".
To make a short story out of it, I declined the job and have been doing so with
other similar offers ever since.

PS: Waleed, while I agree that this is not directly related to the lists
purpose, it is a part of being an Oracle professional that one will get offers
of employment in foreign nations and for some reason Saudi is a constantly
reoccurring one.

I can answer your question# 2
It would be very wise for your wife to cover her head and you.. your butt!!
think twice before you make a move.

2) Will my wife have to cover her hair? Is it mandatory there?
3) How are the social activities like cinema?
Thanks.
