Those who lived/live in Saudi Arabia - Fact or Fiction

[FAH1223]

Udun, I agree.

Helwaa, yeah I guess after a certain age they're allowed to travel without Mahram. I completely disagree though about Sacuudiga being the best place to live, with the exception of the historical significance in Islam and luxury of being in the vicinity of the Sacred Mosques. I used to think that until I spent a month there and realized the Arabs there are the most depraved human beings society's ever seen. I could write a book on the experiences I had and reasons why I hated 9/10 of the Arabs I came across there. If it wasn't for Islam, I'd be completely anti-Arabs. At the end of the day, Sacuudiga has to be considered the best place on Earth cuz of the two Holy Mosques, but living amongst those people is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

yeah, homosexuality is really prevalent there. My Saudi friends always tell me about desperate niggaz who will fock anything and everything that moves.

[Enlightened~Sista]

Many Saudi females are driven around everywhere by foreign male drivers and that is perfectly acceptable, yet at the same time these same Saudis are against 'Free Mixing'.


Yungnfresh, I have said the same many times and I was called anti- Arab, Anti- Islam, and a liar


Nabeela, can you talk a bit more about why sports is banned from girls schools in Saudi Arabia?

[DisplacedDiraac]

Westldnshawty, you have to be native Saudi to hold citizenship, what is your friend's nationality. The thousands of women who are maids in Saudi do not arrive or leave without Mahram i am sure, but Saudi women are considered special by the laws of their country and need permission from guardian to travel, seek education etc because they are considered dependents.

My cousin is a Somali Brit..
Plus I have two relatives who are not native Saudis and yet they have Saudi citizenship!

dude its a known fact everytime u get closer to holly city of mecca pple get worse and worse...the most known tarek alsalat are from mecca...as arabs say when they want to describe pple of hijaz " Athhar makan wa anjas naas" which means the most sacred land with dirties pple (ilaa man ra7m rabbi)

So true, I caught some guy trying to take my wallet from my pocket INSIDE the Haram.

FAH, I heard that a lot but I dunno how true that is since I never saw anything that looked suspect like that. Then again, that kinda stuff wouldn't happen in public so who knows.

ES, I think what upsets some people is when u say stuff without anything to substantiate it. Your personal experiences are yours though and no one can argue with that.

Nah thats incorrect. There are thousands of somali saudis, ethnic somalis that hold Saudi citizenship.

You're making excuses here for your buddies. They hate anything and everything I say. No one substantiated anything they said here why I should I be expected to present proof for everything I say?...in other words I'm always a liar until I present proof.

[yunis09]

You can't hold dual citizenship if you become Sucuudi. Yes you can become a national but there are strict requirements.
1. You have to live there 10 yrs, with no misdemeanor
2. You have to be a professional who contributes to the sucuudi sector
3. You have to renounce your previous nationality if your a woman who married a sucuudi.
4. You can't be a palestinian refugee

I have only met one Somali girl who had Saudi passport, she said her great grandfather or grandfather was given citizenship and they lived all their lives in Saudi. She said they were not treated the same as other Saudis because it is your tribe that matters at the end of the day. I think it is the same for Saudis who originated from Yemen. Anyway, they are here in UK now as asylum seekers. How did your relatives obtain citizenship?

Is deji first of all, all I'm saying is if you present something as your opinion, then no one has the right to say anything but either agree or disagree with your opinion. But if you make a statement and present it as a fact, then it has to have legitimate basis and supporting proof if someone challenges it, just like anyone else has to provide proof when they present facts that are disputed. Where did I say ur the only one that has to do that, or call u a liar until u present proof?

I see.. Interesting
They are both the offspring of a Somali business man in Saudi.

4. You can't be a palestinian refugee

Thats a long list.. Saudi Citizenship isn't really that difficult to obtain.
My aunt has Kuwaiti citizenship and according to her its the most difficult citizenship to obtain. Her son studies here and the benefits the Kuwaiti government gives him is unbelieveable..

[SultanOrder]

West yes it is that hard to obtain, look it up.

[DisplacedDiraac]

I meant compared to Kuwait and the likes..

[union]

I cant say but I am pretty sure there's wisdom behind it. I bet Saudi Arabia has the least auto collision and perfect parking in the world.

Actually they have the worst driving accident rates in the world.
