Great trip to the two countries...
The Al Faisaliah is a really good hotel, and our office is in the tower. Dinner in the Globe restaurant at the top of the tower with about 30 resellers. Customer meetings went very well. Our company has gone from employing five women in 2004 to about 30 now in Riyadh. They have the choice of working in a separate area, but most choose to work in the open plan area for at least part of the day. Some women do drive in the country, even if they are not allowed have a driving license. Travel agencies also give them international driving licenses when they are on vacation overseas.
Oman is clean, well-organized, and the locals are well-educated and want to work. We only have nine people there. The Grand Hyatt is a fabulous hotel on the beach.
