Last time I was close to there was Jeddah about a decade ago, doing a Hajj ran into an American who had been with saudia since the early 80's, lost his family, loved saudia city (compound) life. I suppose he was addicted to watching his bank account grow.. Tax free.

In 1993, I believe I was part of the last batch of westerners hired for line maintenance in Riyadh. Lots of guys started leaving in 96 after things started getting "hot" in the kingdom. As of now , only Saudis, Filipinos and other asian guys working the line in RUH. Still some western expats in Jeddah OPS though.
As for Saudization,
