There is a reason why salaries in the Magic Kingdom have needed to be so high to attract employees. Things are so bad internationally with the job market that the bottom feeders have been only offering $2700 (US) per month with shared housing to those with minimal experience and credentials. Those people need to understand that KSA is not China or Korea, and to just say no to such bad offers.

Go to 02:41, Captain. No mention of salaries for migrant workers, appealing or not.
This video advises not business visit visa seekers, but tourists seeking actively entertaining opportunities in an otherwise Lonely Planet.
(Though one could argue that the two types are synonymous, I guess.) |

| I've been to all those countries, (and a few more), and the only one I wouldn't go back to is Nigeria. Maybe because while riding a bus in the bush, it was stopped and robbed, but then the driver got the drop on the robbers and all the passengers got off and beat the 3 robbers to death right in front of me. |

Perhaps it does, but the problem with that argument is that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia offers no tourist visas:

The author of the video does not appear to me to have come to KSA as a religious pilgrim, so I suspect he or she came on a work visit visa, which is close to working on a tourist visa.

Dear wantok,
Maybe because travel guides want people to travel?
