Despite the cultural shock you are likely to get, and in some cases the religious and social disparities as well, mutual curiosity is one thing that can ignite interaction between you and a Saudi.
Royal biographer and historian Robert Lacey, having seen a huge success from his bestselling The Kingdom: Arabia and the House of Sa’ud, published 30 years ago, now reveal the afterlife.
Covering everything from, souring of the US-Saudi relationship to the growth of terrorism, Lacey now presents a glance into the perpetual conflicts between the ulema and monarchy.
There always have been some mind boggling thoughts about the social life in Saudi Arabia. It is indeed so easy to form opinions about a place you have never visited and may be never even wish to. But one thing that is sure to startle you is that 5.6 million among the 22.6 million Saudis in the kingdom are the heterogeneous expatriate community.
It is obvious that one will find linguistic differences when interacting with a Saudi but for some years now, there has been a vast increase in the number of English-speaking Saudis.
The despotic society shown by the writer entails a fidgety and angry youth, a prejudice of women drivers and the threats faced by dogma denying teachers.
