Hi Stephen,

As a women in Saudi Arabia, you wife may struggle to set up a business as the country is incredibly patriarchal. But that doesn't mean it is impossible. You should try to get in touch with others who have set up small businesses in Saudi Arabia and get their input.

Use the Doing Business in Saudi Arabia page as a starting point.

As for your daughter, you will have to see wether there is an international school in Riyadh that can accommodate her and can teach engineering.
