o! I have been reading all the threads, but there is a topic I haven't yet seen discussed: What can I expect in KSA as a single ex-pat woman in Aramco HQ? in professional and personal life.
I know women can drive, but I don't have any other insight. Please can you share how your females colleagues are treated? What have been the experience of your wife and daughters and female colleagues while you worked and lived there? Anything will be helpful.

What have been the experience of your wife and daughters and female colleagues while you worked and lived there? Anything will be helpful. I’m a woman, spouse. It’s refreshingly safe, it’s not hard to get about alone, people are friendly and helpful. The modest dress is easier and simpler in practice than it seems before you get here. There are plenty of groups and organisations to join, plus I know the bachelors do go and travel in groups, do stuff on the weekends. The things that do frustrate me won’t affect you, they are dependent problems. And those are the same in most countries and regardless of gender. |

polini, I would imagine that you have now heard back from your recruiter and Aramco as well? Do you mind sharing the timeline between your interview period and offer. I have interviewed since the 12th February but still no word or feedback yet, although i was told to expect feedback from recruiter. My status is currently stuck at Thank you for participating in the Interview. Thanks

o Olayemio I haven't accept an offer yet, I had only an oral offer so far, still waiting. The style of life that I'll have a single woman in Aramco HQ is important for me before I accept or deny an offer. By any chance is there a woman living in SA so I can have another insight?
