Inside Saudi Arabia

Three Perspectives, One Conversation About Life in Saudi | Inside Saudi Live


Listen Later

Saudi Arabia is changing fast, and people around the world are starting to pay attention.

In this first ever Inside Saudi Live, we bring together three very different perspectives on what life in Saudi is actually like.

Ali Almeshaal is a Saudi media professional and tourism entrepreneur who began his career in television and now works across communications and tourism in the region.

Micah Nicole is a long time Saudi radio host and musician who has lived and worked in the Kingdom for more than a decade, witnessing the country’s cultural shifts firsthand.

Coach Kaiser is a fitness creator who came to Saudi for five days and ended up quitting his job and moving to Riyadh shortly after.

Together we talk about misconceptions about Saudi, how the country has changed over the past decade, what it’s really like living here as an expat, and why so many people are suddenly curious about the Kingdom.

From culture and social media to tourism and expat life, this conversation explores the realities of building a life in Saudi Arabia.

If you are curious about Saudi or thinking about visiting or moving here, this episode is for you.
