SaudiLifeGuide.com was created to help expatriates understand life in Saudi Arabia in a clear, honest, and practical way.
My name is Arslan Ahmad, a software engineer living in Saudi Arabia since 2019, along with my family. Like many expats, my journey here started with excitement, curiosity, and also a fair amount of confusion. Over the years, living and working in the Kingdom has given me firsthand experience with Saudi systems, daily life, cultural values, and the realities that most newcomers only discover after arriving.
This website exists to make that transition easier for others.
Why Saudi Life Guide Exists
Saudi Arabia is a unique country. The opportunities are real, the lifestyle can be rewarding, and the experience can be deeply fulfilling — but only if you understand how things actually work.
When I first moved here, I noticed a major gap:
- Too much information online was outdated or unclear
- Many guides were overly technical or copied from official sources without explanation
- Real-life experiences, especially from expats, were often missing
SaudiLifeGuide.com was created to bridge that gap by offering experience-based guidance, written in simple language, without exaggeration or unnecessary complexity.
What You’ll Find on This Website
The content on SaudiLifeGuide.com focuses on helping expats and newcomers through:
- Practical guidance for new arrivals
- Clear explanations of Saudi systems and processes
- Real-life experiences that highlight the positive side of living in Saudi Arabia
- Honest, non-sugarcoated insights based on personal experience and research
- Personal stories combined with actionable advice
The goal is not to overwhelm readers, but to clarify, guide, and prepare them for life in the Kingdom.
A Personal Connection to Saudi Arabia
Living in Saudi Arabia has been a meaningful experience for me. Beyond work, I have a strong interest in exploring different regions of the country, visiting new places, and understanding the culture more deeply.
Over time, this interest naturally extended to learning about Saudi regulations, systems, and everyday processes that affect expats — from residency and work life to daily routines. That curiosity, combined with real-world experience, is what shapes the content you see on this website.
SaudiLifeGuide.com reflects respect for the country, appreciation for its culture, and a genuine desire to help others settle in smoothly.
