I would go in a New York minute!
I've been there-Riyadh, Jeddah, Daharan. The oil contracts are usually at Aramco and the "compound" is like living in a small town in the US. They have their own schools, boy and girl scouts, neighborhoods. Compunds in Riyadh are like Club Med living with pools, clubhouses and activities. I have never felt threatened or unsafe in any part of the country. Yes, it's very different from what we know in the US, but there is a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world working and living there. And making some good money in a short amount of time isn't all bad.
