I have heard that a single man and a single woman can't be alone together in Saudi Arabia.
Is that true ?
Hi Aussie,
yes this is true. The idea behind this thing is to avoid making any sexual relationship which is unacceptable if they are not married.For example,if they hang out together alone today in a restaurant.....they will hang out tomorrow in a bed! However, as a man, I can speak with any woman and we can contact together.In my country which is Saudi Arabia, we do respect women( I know may be you dont agree with me....but trust me ...i'm from saudi arabia and i know what im talking about !!).....
I hope i answered your question and feel free to ask any question about my country and i will be glad to answer it!

I might not understand your customs and culture and I might not agree with them.
But I respect the way you choose to live your life.
You say "we do respect women", I have never thought Saudi men didn't.
In my home when I was growing up it was wrong for a single young girl and a single young man to be alone, unless you had your parents permission and many parents had that view then.
Things have changed a lot since then, but that is probably due to all the different cultures and customs that have been brought together to make up our multicultural country.
I actually find some cultures fascinate me, though I wouldn't choose to live that life.
I expect the movie Lawrence of Arabia with Omar Sharif and the beautiful Arabian horses is how a lot people have become interested.
Regarding Saudi culture and customs, I do not doubt that most men in Saudi Arabia respect women. On the other hand I do have serious problems with the culture and ruling of Saudi Arabia. I am not saying that the "entire Saudi culture is bad" (In my opinion no culture is completely good or bad) But there are a lot of opressing elements in it. Cultural, religious and official rules that go against personal freedom and human rights, woman rights, gay rights etc.
Aussie said "I respect the way you choose to live your life" But I wonder how much of a real choice do you have in a country like Saudi Arabia? What if you would not choose to live a veiled life as a woman?, what if you do not want to live according to the strict sexual morals imposed by a regime and very specific way in which the islam is understood? What if you are not a believer yourself? What if you disagree with the royal family and would want to protest? I agree with Aussie that other cultures interest me, but I feel sad for people living in opressive cultures.
