Saudi Arabia has a vibrant culture centered around deep family loyalty and a close-knit community. Much of what drives the culture and worldview of Saudi Arabia is vastly different from the US and other Western countries. Perhaps that is why many travelers to Saudi Arabia struggle to adapt and fit into life in this Middle Eastern country. Rather than viewing the differences between Saudi Arabia and the US as detrimental, one should view these differences as opportunities to view the world from an alternate perspective. Several of these cultural aspects are: Saudis’ religion, their relationalness and their orientation around family. Saudi Arabia is primarily an Islamic country. They follow the five pillars of faith, as outlined in the Koran.
