We have dedicated a piece to one ouf the reviews we got from a sudent studying in one of the leading top universities in Saudi Arabia:

Italian student Lisa, admits she “fell in love with Saudi Arabia” after visiting the country last year, when she won a scholarship from King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST). She sees Saudi Arabia as a place of significant reform.

“We cannot avoid noticing how the habits here are different from ours in Europe, but I have also witnessed a big difference between the local habits last year and now,” she said.

On a visit to Jeddah’s historic Al-Balad area, Lisa said she was delighted to discover how welcoming the local people were and how curious they were about Italian culture. She was also pleased that it is no longer mandatory for women to wear an abaya when out in public in the Kingdom.

Lisa added that she would encourage people to visit the country, suggesting it could change their perception of it. “The common vision we have in Europe about the Middle East is entirely different,” she said.

The desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a fascinating place to live and study for adventurous PhD students hoping to benefit from the country’s numerous scholarship programmes. Home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a stretch of stunning Red Sea coastline.

Saudi Arabia is full of surprises that will vcaptivate every moment of your stay. Saudi Arabia is relatively undiscovered as a tourist destination, but that does not mean there is not plenty to see and experience, from the bustling metropolises of Riyadh and Jeddah to the rolling dunes of the Empty Quarter.

Students find the place quite welcoming and a worthy option for study abroad for its sizzling life style and culture!
