if u wanna have some entertainment n less restrictions, go to jeddah if u r a muslim n religious, then the best places on earth for sure r Mekkah n Medina.
2 :
I would say Khobar or Jeddah Riyadh is ok if you know lots of ppl
3 :
Get a canoe and travel to each.
4 :
I think Riyadh is pretty exciting to live in. Good Malls, low crime. Friendly people, will depends. Buy you want to have fun, go to Jeddah, or Al Khobar/Damman. Even better, head to UAE or Bahrain.
5 :
All of saudi arabia is non crime, if you want to go somewhere fun, then go to Jedda or Riyadh. If you are a strong muslim, then you should go to Makkah or Medina.
6 :
as an foreigner i would say Dhahran it's next to Al-Khobar there's a lot of compounds where you can deal with it :D and if you are in Aramco co. you can live in Aramco's compound you can deal with this more :D Good luck :D
7 :
go to Abha in Asir province it's very beautiful and quiet
8 :
If you want easy access to alcohol, go to Al-Khobar so you can be close to the causeway, otherwise Jeddah is the best suited for you, especially if you can make some local friends.
9 :
Riyadh is the best city to live in. It is the capital city and it is wonderful.
10 :
Khobar.. simply cause its very western minded.. I would say Jeddah, but Jeddah is now to conjested, old, and very busy now.. Khobar is still small enough to find yourself.. and only 45 min away drive from Bahrain if you need a breather weekend (cinema, etc) and 50 min away from Dubai by plane.. 8 hours by drive
11 :
I say Jeddah because all the other cities in your options my friends went to live in it and they were bored so they came back to Jeddah. especially Riyadh it is very boring. and why i say Jeddah because it has good malls... and you can go to makkah with your car for 2 hours only. well i say Jeddah is the best city in Saudi arabia.
12 :
.....Jeddah or Al Khobar/ Ad Dammam because you have small freedom....
13 :
Khobar. Its near the sea, and a heartbeat away from Bahrain. It is westernised and the religious police, I HEard, are not allowed to enter Khobar. This might have something to do with Aramco - the saudis I am sure dont want to piss off the expats of Aramco.
14 :
I'd say Khobar/Dammam are the best, except during the summer the weather is horrible. It gets really humid and you can't even stand outside for a minute without getting wet and sweaty. People are nice, traffic is nice. After that, I'd say Riyadh. Traffic is better than Jeddah. Gets really dry in the summer, but it's better than really humid. Taif is a good city, but it might be a bit small. Great weather. Jeddah is kind of dirty in some places, unless you're going to stay in one side of the city, I wouldn't recommend it. They're planning to clean it up, install a complete sewage system, blah blah, but they've been saying that for 20 years now. Traffic is the worst.
15 :
Hi, you basically would have one of the three options: 1) the west: Jeddah 2) the center: Riyadh 3) the east: Dammam + Knobar about the crime rate, mostly there are no concern for crimes overall, and there are no cities known to have big crime rate, but usually there are some parts of the cities, like to most south of Riyadh, but still not that much. Riyadh is the capital and is in the center of the desert :) ... not too much fun to have here, unless you consider shopping as fun :) ... it has a lot of shopping malls... but it's a crowded city, normally it takes me about 30 to 50 minutes to get to work. Jeddah is crowded as well, and has less religious people... Dammam and Khobar are my recommendation, they have better followers for the roles, less Bedouins, more foreigns and compounds, and better streets, and you can go to Bahrain by car to have more fun! overall the eastern part of Saudi Arabia is better than the rest.

hey see www.moneyjobz.com for this. you'll see the links specificly about this on the left and the right side so you dont have to go and search everywhere Source(s): searched and visited personally.
2 :
it depends on u because some people r living in 600sr/month while others r living with 50000sr/month so that simply means u dont need a lot of money to live in saudi arabia. close to masjid haram yeah u can find job in it like to replace drinking water coolers etc. degree in america not true unless u need big bucks. a visa for saudi arabia and job in mecca.
3 :
To immigrate to Saudi you need a job/sponsor. If you are an American, yes, a degree is a must for landing a lucrative job. Get your degree and experience in your field. That way you have best chances to get hired. Choose a job of demand. I.e. in the medical field, teaching or engineering. Good luck!
4 :
if you want to live in mecca which is the holy place for Muslims i think it will cost you more than other cities in saudi, its most expensive city over here i am talking about real estate, the closest hotel to masjid alharam and kabba cost 5000/night almost 1335$, i think that because its the Muslim holy place and all world come to mecca every year for duty (alhajj, alumrah) and it becomes crowded at alhajj and Ramadan, my sister insist that she want us to sell house (we are in Dammam) to buy another one in Mecca but we won't found the same features of this house with the same price over there. you can live in Jeddah its less than hour by car between Jeddah and mecca also its big city and opportunity to get job there is big especially if you are educated, the price also less expensive in Jeddah, good luck!

2 :
Move to America if you're of a more western mindset. We feel there is too much repression of freedom in your area specially for women. Maybe if you could vote, you could change laws there to be more free.
3 :
Move to Bahrain
4 :
you could do like everybody else does and go to Bahrain. = edit = ROFLMAO guy up above had same idea, i'm just slower.

The only rights you have are the Saudi Arabian ones, if you're lucky the embassy may help you out with minor offenses, but it's nothing to rely on.
2 :
Dream on! You are bound by a set of rules which are decided by the Saudi Royal Family. You have less rights than a Saudi man. For example, if you are in a taxi and the taxi has an accident you are responsible for the welfare of the taxi driver and his family. Think about it for a minute. If you had not hired him, he would not have had that accident ! Be careful in Saudi very careful.
3 :
No American laws stop at its borders.
4 :
Islamic Law rules Shar'ia. Americans and jews are infidels aka goyim... subhumans who worship gold and diamonds.
5 :
The American system is founded on the notion that rights exist in nature and was poetically explained in the Declaration of Independence with these words: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The US Constitution DOES NOT grant rights, as it is the American belief that rights EXIST. The US Constitution and the included Bill of Rights (which are the first 10 Amendments to the US Constitution) exist to limit government so that, hopefully, government doesn't violate the rights of individuals. Rights exist in nature and ARE NOT granted to us by any government and not by any document. Moreover, the same rights exist for all people, everywhere... So, yes, ALL people, no matter what their nationality or where they happen to be at any time have the same rights. Morality is one thing, legality another. If an American citizen comes under prosecution in a foreign nation which recognizes and has diplomatic relations with the US, it is possible that the US citizen will get help from the US diplomatic mission in that nation. Same holds for foreign people in the US, they might get help from their diplomats stationed in this nation. It's always important to keep in mind that rights exist in nature, that ONLY individual people have rights (government doesn't have rights---only people do) and to remember that when rights are violated, most often it is done by government or with help from government. Government, to be legitimate (and none are, not here, not elsewhere) must be limited SOLELY to protecting the rights of the individual. That was the intent in founding the US government, that is the promise. It's just a promise which has yet to be realized. And hey, who the hell wants to go to a craphole like Saudi Arabia anyway?

I would not bet on it, if arrested........Unless it is "newsworthy". Remember; "your not in Kansas anymore"..........If they execute you by mistake over there, your reletives may get a few dollars and a note saying " Ooops", sorry.
