Used to Live in Saudi
Hi,
I used to live in Saudi from 1980 - 1993. I was only a baby when we moved my Father set up a FBO in Jeddah. We lived in Saudia City which was nice before moving into a villa.
I loved Saudi as that I all I pretty much knew. The Red Sea was great and we had a life of luxury.
Had a nice house with servants, drivers, pool house, we used to get invited on Mobil's luxury motor yaught and their sea side villas.
There used to be all sorts of parties around peoples houses and embassies. People brewed their own which was good and had a laught.
Things have changed a lot since they kicked a lot of expats out and replaced them with Saudi workers but it can't be that bad surely.
I miss a lot of the friends that I made out there and I was a fun place to grow up. Much more of a freindly atmosphere amongst the Expats.
