    Jeddah is not slow 😂 it's one of the busiest cities in the country. I moved to Riyadh. I felt everything was slower there. Then I moved to Dammam, it was slower than Riyadh Then I moved to Madinah, it was slower than Dammam I'm in Tabuk now. Been here for 8 yrs. It's even slower than Madinah, it's so comforting here. I feel like I don't know how to survive in my own country anymore 😅

    Saudi has some issues.Freedom of Expression: The government suppresses dissent, with activists facing imprisonment for peaceful protests and social media posts. High-profile cases include Raif Badawi, who was punished for his online activities. • Death Penalty: Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates globally, with many sentenced after unfair trials, including for non-violent offenses. • Women’s Rights: Women face systemic discrimination, including a male guardianship system that limits their autonomy and legal rights. • Migrant Workers: Migrants often experience exploitation and abuse under the kafala system, with reports of forced labor and harsh treatment. • Torture and Detention: Reports indicate widespread torture and inhumane conditions in detention facilities, particularly for political prisoners

I’m guessing there’s not the whole sexually crazy lifestyle there( which is a huge relief) unless that’s a “behind closed doors “ situation, which then whatever. But do people go out on dates there? Like, could I?….Very interesting…. I left you a message on your Instagram as well. Great hearing your perspective
