living in Saudi Arabia Most of forein residents in Saudi Arabia, use to live mainly in two towns; Riyadh and Jeddah, and we are all from different countries. We use to live in compounds, we live in houses that have basicly air conditioner. We have facilities like supermarket, gym, private parking, reception, and instalations to practice sports. Some compounds are so big that women can drive inside. When I came to live here, I was very suprised due to the way of life. In this country is difficult make life at open air, so, you have to try to be always in the shadow or in the car, in the mal, in the office.... Women can be dressed the way they choose, only inside the compound, but if they go outside, everybody must be dressed with abaya, The abayas, are like black courtains, is very funny the sensation when you are wearing one. You think that you look like a ghost. And the colour must be dark, its is not advised wearing light colours. When we are outside, we must be prepared to have hot, to much hot. I have been living here for 1 year, and the worst is in July and August, we are always more than 4o degrees, and the swiming pool is a like have a bath at home, very very hot.
