From reading the local papers and talking to some women - I only met about a dozen saudi women in all the time i was there... The majority would like to drive..Some said that they were more than happy with being driven everywhere.
I did three stints totalling 10 years. I prefer here now. Although i had a good time in Saudi. I liveed on a western compound most of the time wuth all facilities and no locals. the only interactions were at work.
my first stint was on a armed forces base. Three thousand people and ALL men.
Can't speak for all western women, but most of those I met, loved it there. as i said, we had our own compounds and pretty much did what we wanted. the social life was pretty good.
I agree with you..
