If you are an expat who has been brought up in Saudi Kingdom? Here are some true and relatable traits of life in Saudi Arabia that you'll surely enjoy. Whether its long drives at night or indulging in yummy shawarmas, it's safe to say that Saudi Arabia offers a unique culture unlike any other country in the world.
