Saudi Arabia is the safest country among the GCC to live in and with lowest cost of living. This is the country situated in the Middle East in Asia. Due to severe punishment on the crimes committed, as the Monarch strictly follows islamic laws, the fear is so high. This is one of the reason. Rumors are all widespread about theft and robberies. This sort of things prevails and rare occasion due to the illegal immigrants in the country. The Administration is on war footing measures to control the unhappenings and they have succeeded. Dress codes is according to Islamic shariah that women have to cover their body - not to expose. Muslim ladies have to cover their heads as well. All the tribes of S. Arabia are well mannered. Every where in the world 5-10 % of people of any country are practically, unethical, immoral and unpolite. With such low percentage of ill experiences it is unwise to criticise or black mark the whole country. Saudi Arabia is growing very fast due to increase in govt. expenditure on EDUCATION and its friendly nature with the countries all over the world.
