Oh you must be very careful when you go into Arab countries, as I have also seen a lot of disadvantages of going into Arab countries as well. I think that you would be better off going to some Western country if you could and learn more there to be able to help you and I am sure you would be a lot safer there.

I would look at all of my options before I agreed to go to a country where a woman has "less value". Getting ahead in that tye of enviroment would be difficult. The fact that you are willing to go somewhere else, shows that you are thinking about ways to better yourself and your lifestyle. I am always supportive of people wanting to make a better life for themselves.
I wish you all the luck!!! Please look at all of the angles before making a final decision. Be safe and I hope you get what you are looking for! Blessed be.

Just be careful, wherever you travel, and whenever you travel into a different culture. Without trying to be offensive I can just say that there's a lot of anger in the Arab world, and quite likely rightly so, with all of the western-Arab hostilities.

They say, opportunity knocks only once. If i were you, I will not miss that opportunity. Many of us here in our country wants to go to other countries to work because unstable financial problem and political situation.
I think, their will be no danger if you will not ask or look for it. It always depends on the person. "Strike while the iron is hot".

i think things isnt that bad.What we see from television has been censored at least three times.If you think going to Riyadh is really a good opportunity and you will be regret if lose it,just go.sometimes we should stick to our ideas.
