Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Saudi Arabia : Culture Saudi Arabia in the 1990s was a society of contrasts. After three decades of intense modernization, the nation's urban infrastructure was highly developed and technologically sophisticated. Excellent hospitals, clinics, schools, colleges, and universities offered free medical care and education to Saudi citizens. Shopping malls displayed Paris fashions; supermarkets sold vegetables flown in from the Netherlands; restaurants offered Tex-Mex, Chinese, or haute cuisine; and amusement centers with separate hours for male and female patrons dotted the urban landscape. Suburban neighborhoods with single-family houses and swimming pools hidden behind high walls ringed commercial districts, and satellite communications made a telephone call from Riyadh to New York as fast and as clear as a call to New York from Connecticut. Politically, the early 1990s saw unprecedented expressions of political dissidence born of the economic imbalances and shifting social boundaries produced by the development process. In petitions to the king for reform in the political system and political sermons in the mosques, Saudis have sought representation in government decision making. They have begun to ask who should control the fruits of oil production, who should decide the allocation of resources, and whose version of the just society should be rendered into law? But among opposition voices there was another contrast: some demanded representation to ensure that the governing system would enforce sharia -Islamic law, whereas others demanded representation to ensure protection for the individual from arbitrary religious or political judgments.

This means that the message people are trying to convey often relies heavily on other communicative cues such as body language and eye-contact rather than direct words. In this respect, people make assumptions about what is not said. In Saudi Arabian culture particular emphasis is placed on tone of voice, the use of silence, facial cues, and body language. It is vital to be aware of these non-verbal aspects of communication in any business setting in order to avoid misunderstandings. For instance, silence is often used for contemplation and you should not feel obliged to speak during these periods.

Saudi Arabia Info Saudi Arabia Culture The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest Arabian country in the Arabian Gulf and is very well known for its rich Saudi Arabia culture. Most of the area in the country is filled with desert. Its northern neighbors are Jordan and Iraq, while Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman are its Eastern and South Eastern neighbors. Yemen forms its Southern border, while Saudi Arabia is bordered by a long coastline along the Red Sea on the West. Its 27.6 million people live in an area of 2,150,000 square kilometers. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also known as the ‘Land of Two Mosques’ with reference to the mosques in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Saudi Arabia occupies 80% of the Arabian Peninsula and is recognized as the world’s 14th largest country. Saudi Arabia is the world’s greatest petroleum exporter and the foreign exchange earned as a result of oil exports is the backbone of the Saudi economy. Oil represents 90% of Saudi Arabia exports, and 75% of its revenue. The rich Saudi Arabia culture has been shaped by its Islamic heritage, its historical impact and its Bedouin traditions. The basis of Saudi Arabia culture is a blend of Arab and Muslim. Their traditions are rooted in Islamic teachings and Arab customs. The country is strictly religious and maintains behavior and dress code. Alcoholic beverages are strictly banned in the country and the country does not have any movie theatres for public display of films. Many of the Saudis are well educated and well informed about all issues pertaining not only to Arabs and Muslims, but also the entire world. Public opinion about domestic matters is discouraged. What is surprising is the fact that there are no political parties or labor unions.
