I have now so far been offered positions in both KSA as well as UAE and I wanted to know which place is a better place overall to work in?

The only thing that can be said for Saudi is that if you are a man you probably won't have to work with, or worse, for, a woman.

A good employer in KSA is better than a bad one in the UAE !

KSA is the better choice because you stand a better chance of saving your money.

Serious devotees of Mammon should head for KSA. Too many temptations in that other place.

Have you seen the glassy eyed empty stared of those who have survived a stint in Saudi?

Nuff said methinks.

Dear ardiles81,

Oh, my goodness. I guess I'll have to start cultivating a "glassy eyed empty stare" now. I mean, having "survived" nineteen years in Saudi, I simply can't walk around without one, can I?

Regards,
John

Question seems a bit pointless. Depends what you mean by better and what you're looking for in a job and a place to live.

Saudi is more restrictive but then social life on expat complexes can be entertaining.

As for employers, what s/he said ...

Personally, I doubt very much I'd choose to work in Saudi. The restrictions would bother me too much. But it's fair to say it's easier to save money in Saudi.
