Does a foreign lady visiting Saudi Arabia have to wear Niqab?
I am going to visit Saudi Arabia for work as my company's one branch office is located in Saudi Arabia. So do I have to wear Niqab as other ladies do?? Are these practices of covering whole face & body practised today also in this 21st century.

You don't have to wear Niqab .. But you have to wear Hijab , most Islamic legal systems define this type of modest dressing as covering everything except the face and hands in public. The dress code has nothing with 21st century, even if you are not Muslim you have to respect rules and traditions of others specially when you are a visitor.! Hijab is given the wider meaning of modesty, privacy, and morality .. if you want to know more about Islam goto : http://discover.islamway.com/

you wont be forced to wear a niqab.. but sometimes depending on the strictness of you employer and the people you will be meeting/greeting in your employement, you might wear one just cause you feel safer with it on..

Theres no need to cover ur face. You only have to wear your abaya outside and maybe you'd like to put a scarf on ur head not to look too odd. Covering the body has nothing to do with the century we living in but rather with religion. Religion can never become outdated or modernised - dress code especially... Hope this helps!

to make long story short you don't have to cover your face. you don't have to cover your head. yes you should cover your body. welcome to SA and hope you enjoy your stay and get your work done :)

you have to wear a long loose fitting cloak and a headscarf. Some villages are more relaxed. Jeddah is also okay. Riyadh you MUST wear cloak and headscarf.

NO ONE has to cover anything but their body. You don't have to cover your feet or hands, either.

no, no one will force you. it might be better to do so just to blend in with the people in the country.

The U.S. is tough due to competition; try to specialize in something you know they are in desperate need of.

you have to give one month advance notice to terminate the contract here and you can leave your present job, you will lose some end of services awards percentage wise, but you will get paid leaves as per time you worked.
