The risks depend on what your job will be. Ras Tanura is an oil port. Also, Saudi Aramco has a compound there. If your job is physical, then I'd say that's your biggest risk. As far as crime, Saudi Arabia is pretty safe. There are a lot of Filipinos working in Saudi Arabia in all fields, from housemaids to doctors. What exactly are you worried about? your question is kinda vague...

hello my friend. these days it is safe to work in Saudi Arabia because the security is high and good if your afraid of terrorism, plus there are many filpino people there.

......yes it is safe here.....Risks are everywhere but it is safe here.....I've been here for more than 3 years. I think the problem will arise on the company you have applied to work for.......I heard there are companies that are not good these days......aside from the low salary, there is no benefits no vacation and no time off......

risk?.. depends on your job.. if you are out on an oil rig.. then job injury is your risk.. (or any high risk job)... if you mean risk of terrorism or prejudice because you are a philipinio.. NO.. there are many many countreymen of yours working here.. and everyone is fine with it.. .. the only otherthing might be sheer boredom... I am assuming you are a bachelor and will not be coming with your wife and children... so your social life might be lacking.. but if you try to find some friends and people with same interests and take part in any social events that are around you , hopefully you can pass your leisure time fine...

if you have the same wall connection on your xbox and its the same in arabia then yea it would work
2 :
I would venture to say yes that the xbox will work, however the games and DVD's you buy may not, if they are not for the same region as the xbox, the US xbox will be Region 1, don't know what region Saudi Arabia is but I doubt it's region 1. If you could change the region on the xbox itself you should be alright. Other than that, there should be a switch on the AV cables to switch between NTSC and PAL formats, if not then that's something else to look into. Tentatively yes it will work. Check the region and the TV format itself.

No you can't, you must buy voltage converter to play your Xbox 360 US version. Voltage converter is looks like this http://www.voltageconverters.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=VC500W US current voltage is 110 V 50 Hz Asia current voltage is 220 V 60Hz So now you have to buy step down converter, Voltage converter has two type , step down and step up. For you, you have to buy voltage converter step down, when you go to the electric shop, just say i want to buy Voltage Converter Step Down 220 V to 110V ( 500 W) version. OK, i hope this will help you

because of the way blackberry security works they might not let you take it into saudi , check first, other countries are also restricting their use or leaning on the providers to give them access

Nothing will happend to you unless your new Saudi employer requests a Police Clearance Certificate whilch you will not be able to provide.

Dont be scare !! nothing will happen...as two countries are different and moreover mashreq or NBD both dont have any branches in saudi arabia. Moreover, if you have intention to repay your card loan then it is well and good u will get maximum discount to ur debt upto the interest part if you are contacting those banks voluntarity from your side. Good Luck !!!!
