  • I have heard people say they moved to Saudi Arabia without an inkling of what to expect. I consciously put this video together to give anyone looking to move here clarity on what to expect as both dependants and employee, how to cope if you find yourself in the not so big cities. This video is from my perspective as a dependent that has been here for 3years. So I’m sharing my tips and coping Mechanisms.. I hope you enjoy.
    Hoping this video helps shed more light on what you already or may not already know.
    Please do well to Like, Comment and Share so this video can get to an audience planning to move to Saudi. Goodluck, God bless

      I am Portuguese, born in Asia, more specifically Macau. I know pretty much countries like China, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, and I really don't know which "Asian countries" are you talking about, because in these it's certainly not the same as described in this video. Maybe you could be more specific.

    I doubt it if there are churches in all those area you mentioned, the situation there is just as the same as where you are. People are allowed to do their worship in their houses and maybe compound.

      The reason why there are no churches in sauidi is because, historically Christians have never really been there.
      Egypt iraq pakistan Turkey have some of the oldest churches in the world .

    • @alfapaul5593
      @alfapaul5593 6 місяців тому

      Yes most parts of hijaz now known as Saudi Arabia are pagan areas but there was presence of some Christians minority in the area too. Muslims records tells us that the brother in law of prophet Mohammed was a Christian.

    As far as covering your head on the street can of the kind of look you get from people if you’re uncovered, l see apostle Paul will be happy that some people make you do what the Bible requires of you though the Bible says to cover when you’re in the church.

    • @amakajosephat5875

      Yeah here in Saudi covering is an integral part of their culture and religion so they expect you to abide by that once you relocate here.
