I have known people who worked in Saudi Arabia and enjoyed it. I had a consulting job a few years ago: the customers were two university professors in Saudi Arabia who paid me to remotely tutor their daughter who was a student studying Java, semantic web, etc. I did everything remotely using Skype and it was an interesting experience. BTW, the daughter spoke highly of their culture and country - she was really proud of it. I don't like the idea of women not having fully equal rights, but I kept quiet about that since there is no reason to disrespect someone else's culture if they seem happy with it.
