Saudi Arabia is one of the countries with plenty of jobs for Kenyans. I have met a number of Kenyans asking whether those jobs are good. Of course they are good but it depends on how you behave, the type of employer you will get and the type of job you do.
For ladies, if you land on the hands of a good employer, you are safe but if you land on a bad one, life will be hell for you. The bad employer will confiscate your passport and prevent you from leaving his house. You will work for him for more than 20 hours per day. You will not be given any leave days.
A good employer will treat you well, pay you on time and even allow you to have leave days.
Domestic workers MUST be disciplined. If you are a lady, don’t sleep with the man of the house, don’t show any form of indiscipline. Those people don’t like those two things. Behave well and do your work, life will be smooth.
Saudi Arabia salaries are good for Kenyans. You will earn Ksh 50,000 to Ksh 120,000 per month depending on the contract you signed. This is better compared to Kenyans.
The best jobs in Saudi Arabia are not for domestic workers, they are normally jobs like: Drivers, Loaders, hotel workers, Nursing, security personnel and supermarket attendants. You will never hear bad stories about people doing these jobs. When applying for jobs in Saudi Arabia avoid the ones related to domestic workers because there are high chances of being mistreated as a domestic worker. If you get a chance to work as a Nurse, please go. Nurses earn Ksh 150,000 to Ksh 250,000 per month.
Saudi Arabia is a serious country with strict Sheria Laws. When you go there, be disciplined. Your life in Saudi Arabia will be smooth.
When you compare Saudi Arabia with Qatar,UAE or Kuwait,Saudi Arabia is the worst.You will only go to work in Saudi Arabia when you miss opportunities in the other three countries.
