hello.
my husband and i are thinking of relocating to Saudi with his work.

what i would like to know is what its like for a woman such as myself: 40, two daughters, 12 and 15. out there living .

would my husband have to adopt the the cultures and 'behave' like the native people do?
would i have any say in anything that we did?
would i lose my identity and freedom as i know it now?

and would i be free to visit my famliy back in uk whenever i wanted to?

would my daughters and i be able to work?
would they be safe?

what are the good ponits and bad points oif living there.

thanks

my mom worked in Saudi for ten years and she said there are so many rules imposed on women. You really have to follow the dress code.
