    my country

    hi
    Let me interduce my country in summary
    first the PEOPLE

    People
    The overwhelming majority of Saudi Arabians are Arabs, descended from the indigenous tribes and still today maintaining tribal affiliation. Along the Arabian Gulf coast, there are some Iranians.
    The number of expatriate workers is large with the bulk coming from Egypt, Pakistan, India and the Philippines. The economy is almost totally dependent upon foreign labour, though efforts are beginning to be made to lessen this dependence.

    I used to have friends that worked in Saudi Arabia. It was my understanding then that most of the workers and teachers were foreign. I wasn’t sure how accurate that was as I don’t usually take what people say as absolute truth. But here you mention that your economy id dependent on foreign labor. This makes me wonder, what do the people of your country do for a living?

    I liked the clothing standard. Very conservative. Some people here should follow that lead and cover it up (because no one wants to see it )

    hello, Mother..

    this information is'nt accurat as in the latest years there has been a big tendency and accordingly a fast movement towards Saudiaization due to the
    number of the educated unemployed Saudi people. Education is covring most of the Saudi cities and small villages and hence a huge number of graduate people are being made ready for taking their part in sharing with other citizens.

    What do they do for living?

    depends on their qualifications, I'm sure that you didn't get from the thread that Saudis depends mostly on foreigners , yes there are many ,but most of the Saudis are workers in different fields and places. In each Saudi house you
    may find 2 workers to one unemployed.
