At the same time, Saudi is also a country that is basically dependent on expats. You've labours who are mainly from South Asia (who are treated like shit, btw) and majority of the technical/exec jobs are held by expats as well. If you were to take all the expats away tomorrow, there's no way that country is able to self sustain. I spent 5-6 years in Saudi Arabia growing up and if you have ever lived there, you know this is true.

- parthdesai 7y agoNah, a South Asian that kind of grew up in Riyadh.
- drspacemonkey 7y agoSpent 2 years there as one of the tech expats you spoke of, and you are 100% right. The country runs on expats paid with oil money.
