Hi Joshua,

I'm an American woman married to a Saudi and I've lived in Jeddah for 11 years. I have never had any problems and I find the people to be very warm and friendly. Please don't listen to all that is mentioned in the media; it is very different from what is actually here.

I can only speak for my experiences in Jeddah though, I haven't lived in any other city in the Kingdom.

Yes, there are crazy people just as you would find in any other country!

I've had a good life here and I would recommend coming here to work.

Best of luck,

April
