Intercultural Training: Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Intercultural Impressions

Working in Saudi is still a thrilling adventure: the visa processes are highly complicated, the strict adherence to Islam can be seen as a discourage to some, and finally the heat in the summer time can becoming unbearable. 

Nevertheless, for those who are not deterred by these factors, the Kingdom offers a wide variety of positive impressions from a cultural and also from a leisure perspective. I always enjoy my travels there, because once in the country, there are quite a number of hidden jewels to be detected! 

As an intercultural trainer for the Arab World and Saudi Arabia, I prepare international managers, leaders and experts for the manifold challenges in the KSA. My own experience as a project manager is the basis for my knowledge , giving me a deep understanding of local customs and an authentic insight into daily business practices.     

Here are some intercultural impressions looking around the corners of the KSA and its people – enjoy!

A dream at the gas station:

16 liters for a mere 2 €... 

Ever wondered about those dishdashas?

Taylor-made!

At least they make it clear -
but why is English so much shorter?

As part of my professional activity as trainer and consultant, I prepare experts and managers as well as their families for the intercultural challenges of living and working in Saudi Arabia. So far I have successfully empowered over 1.200 motivated participants for their international assignments and projects – most definitively a good investment for all parties concerned! 

I will be happy to answer your queries and provide you with more background information.
