i have read lots of topics and none of them mentioned anything about melting with the saudi culture or engaging with locals, its like you guys live in another country ! i dont know if you guys are not allowd to or just not intrested. i lived abroad myself in a country side for couple years where i felt not welcome, then met just one local guy who made my stay takes a better shift! so why not try to talk to locals and show interest? it wont harm
let me know what you think?
