Staff tends to be pretty affordable - much more so than in other countries. But I wouldn’t exactly call that a good thing… cough foreign workers cough. Some of them are mistreated and underpaid, largely because they’re from poorer countries.

Saudi Arabia has always had a strong chauffeur culture - household staff culture in general, really. When I was living with my parents, they provided a driver for me; then I got married and my husband did the same. I just never felt the need to drive, I guess - and that’s the case for many other Saudi women too. But one big plus of women gaining the right to drive is that now there are female chauffeurs, which makes the whole thing much more comfortable in such a gender-segregated country.
Thank you!
