    Great video! One of the other biggest myths about Saudi Arabia is that there are no entertainment or leisure activities available for people. Not many are aware of the fact that Saudi Arabia’s entertainment sector has attracted more than 120m visitors to events including all-star football matches, restaurant openings, cultural events and more than 1,380 music concerts!

      You are so right about that Ashik! It’s true that a common misconception is that there’s “nothing to do there” and it’s simply not true!

    Hi, thanks for hte videos about Saudi Arabia. We will be moving as a family soon. Do you have any advice on compounds to look at ? Or what should we take from home, as Ive seen they come fully furnished? Thank you!

      @cherylobalcrossculturalexpert  Před rokem

      Hi, you are most welcome for the videos. Best of luck for your move to Saudi! What you need to bring from home depends on you and what you need to feel comfortable. I brought certain medicines that I prefer to use like pepto bismol, theraflu, and certain vitamins/supplements but nowadays you can find just about anything in Saudi. Lots of imports! About compounds, I would recommend joining this group, they are always talking about compounds: m.facebook.com/groups/628705044450111/?ref=share

    • @cherylobalcrossculturalexpert
      @cherylobalcrossculturalexpert  Před rokem +1

      I will try my best Faruk. The thing is that I most know KAUST from the perspective of working there, since I was KAUST staff. I didn't work with students and I'm not familiar with the practices of getting into KAUST as a student. Best if you contact Graduate Affairs to ask your questions directly. They have a great team ready to help.

    Hey, Thanks a lot for the positive contents about Saudi. I have a question too. Hope you'll be able to help me with it. Are girls allowed to play in Saudi? (Sports like badminton). If yes, is there any specific place for them to play or will it be okay if they play just in front of their house? Or on their terrace may be.

    • @cherylobalcrossculturalexpert
      @cherylobalcrossculturalexpert  Před rokem +1

      You are most welcome. Sure, of course ladies can play sports and games. There are some ladies-only sport facilities and gyms. I don’t think there’s any issue with playing on the street, and if it’s your terrace, it’s your private property and you can do anything within the space of your home.

      No that's also a lie. Even in the 90's women worked. They were present on their TV networks. Journalists, actresses etc, without wearing hijabs also. They were treated well despite some restrictive laws.
