I worked for Saudia for 7 years back in the 80's when the money and conditions were good.I believe that it is a different story now. If you go there you will rapidly find out what it must have been like to be a black South African in the time of apartheid. It served a purpose for me in as much as I made and saved a fair amount of money and met my wife there.Would I do it again? No. As far as the worse the place the better the salary - my next job was 4 years in the Philippines with better conditions and 50% higher salary.
