Bunyamin,  

Conditions cut both ways - depends on how you see it... Loss of religious, social and cultural freedom against the possibility of earning (and saving because you can't spend) lots of $$. Having said that, as long as you stick to the straight and narrow path (as defined by the Saudi authorities) you will be on the safest place on earth as far as crime goes. (E.g. stealing is punishable by cutting off your arm/fingers!!) Also, women cannot drive, and have to cover themselves *fully* (not hair alone) in public places. And no public eating/drinking of liquids in public places during the Holy month of Ramadan.  

There are some who just love it and there are some can't just get enough - there are all kinds in this world.
