I lived and worked in Saudi and worked for the leading merchant family in the Eastern Province for 20 years. I knew a number of western women who did very well financially working for the airlines in the Gulf. I also knew some who were injured as well as a result of anal rape. The locals were basically invulnerable and the girls had no legal recourse if anything went wrong. It's a very different world out there and almost everything that a foreigner can get involved in can be a double-edged sword. When it is going in your favor the region can be fantastic. When it is going against you it is an absolute nightmare.
