Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a country in Western Asia.

It spans the vast majority of the Arabian Peninsula, with a land area of approximately 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi). 

Saudi Arabia is the fourth-largest country entirely in Asia, the largest in Western Asia, and the second-largest in the Arab world. 

It is bordered by the Red Sea to the west, Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait to the north, the Persian Gulf, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast, and Yemen to the south. 

Bahrain is an island country off the east coast. 

The Gulf of Aqaba in the northwest, whose maximum width is 24 km (15 mi), separates Saudi Arabia from Egypt. 

Saudi Arabia is the only country with a coastline along both the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and most of its terrain consists of arid desert, lowland, steppe, and mountains. 

Its capital and largest city is Riyadh. 

The country is home to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam.

So, why work in Saudi Arabia?

This is the most pertinent question.

Each person will have their own reasons for wanting to work and actually working in Saudi Arabia.

My primary reason has been to save money, as the salary is above market rates and the salary is 100% tax free.

An expatriate may work for less than a year while others will work their whole working lives in Saudi Arabia.

The type of job can vary from healthcare, education, chemical, military, aviation and of course the oil industry.

I can safely assume you have a vested interest to read a book about Saudi Arabia.

Maybe you are moving, for work purposes, or you already have.  Maybe someone in your family is about to go or is there now. For what ever reason, I hope there are a few insights which can be useful to you.

Think of three things that you immediately know of Saudi Arabia. I can guess that you thought of one of these; Sun, Sand or Oil. Hopefully by the end of the book, you can add a few more to the list!

This is not meant to be an exhaustive guide or even a travel book, but more of a collection of information.
