There are many aspects of life here that are very different from the country and culture you have left. We believe that the most important step in adjusting to your life in Saudi Arabia is to learn some of the customs and laws. Then you will become more comfortable in your new environment. Once you become familiar with the cultural diferences life can be very exciting here.

Social Courtesies
Here are some suggested “do’s and don’ts” for your own comfort and well being.

PLEASE DO…

Keep an open mind regarding the cultural and social differences you observe. Be flexible and open to change. You will appreciate the new experiences. Accept the challenge of life in a wonderful, ancient country with a rich and exciting history.
Attempt to learn and use the Arabic language.
Remain flexible and try to adapt to local customs. For example: Attire: women should wear conservative, loose fitting clothing. If you feel better when wearing the abaya, then do so.
Ramadan: is an Islamic Holy month during which Moslems observe a fast between sunrise and sunset. Ramadan will commence in early December 1999 and moves forward by around 10 days every year. Please respect this religious holiday by refraining from eating, chewing gum, drinking or smoking in public during daylights hours.

PLEASE DON’T…

Try to impose your western values on the Saudi society. Don’t expect life to be just the same as it was in your home country. Photograph people or any area of national security such as airports, military installations, and refineries.
