If you are considering teaching in Saudi Arabia, some teachers have commented that life can be difficult at times but virtually all of them commented that there was a lot for them to do. They scuba dived and snorkeled in the Red Sea which is as good a place as any in the world. Many fished, many mountain biked and hiked. Several teachers commented that they worked on their Master degree whilst they were abroad and many commented that they were able to read and truly relax more so than they ever had before.
