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. |
