Saudi Arabia

I don't know much about Saudi Arabia. It's mostly stereotypes I deal with, which is that Saudi Arabia has huge oil reserves and big oil companies. This is why Saudi people can be very rich.

I know that if you work in the country, you might very soon find yourself in a sportscar.

Basically it is hard for me to distinguish between Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I read about the situation in UAE and -- despite the enormous success their economy is having -- that it might be very harsh once you dropped out of a job. Without having a job (as a foreigner), you cannot rely on governmental support.

I would really like to know more about Saudi Arabia and be able to differentiate the situation more to stamp out such clichés.
