Dear brother AbuFatimah, How long have you lived on saudia? I really dont want to take part in this discussion because im living here but ill just say that all your observations, sorry to say, are completely wrong.... Sorry to break your bubble. I was born here and lived here almost half my life so i know more about where the economy is going right now. And this is not completely true either that the economy runs on oil. The economy of saudi runs on govt fees and taxes esp what they from expats. I can say alot more, but i really dont want to.
