Hi Farhat,

Although Saudi Arabia is a strict Islamic country and women are somewhat restricted in what they can and can't do, it is possible for women to work in Saudi Arabia and get a work permit to take up employment.

Take a look at the interviews that Expat Arrivals has carried out with a number of women working and living in Saudi Arabia on the Expat Experiences in Saudi Arabia page.

Hope these resources help you.
