Introduction:


Saudi Arabia is a semi-developed country. With a good business capacity. With a Population of 28.83 million (2013) it can noticed the job opportunities this country holds. One of which is Driving. It is necessary to know and have an idea about the obstacles and difficulties about what a person is about to face when it comes to driving in Saudi Arabia.
Jobs:
In this Article we are discussing two types of Driving Jobs;
Heavy Driving: means the drivers who drive Heavy Vehicles like that are usually used for getting and transporting huge Cargo. As Saudi Arabia is an Oil Rich country it is in need of drivers for transporting oil in Heavy Oil Tankers


House Driving: as known to many Saudi is a Rich country and most residents like Sheikh requires the driver for their homes for picking up kids from School or having a 24/7 driver or a driver for only the family.
These are the most common jobs but it is to be kept in mind that every job has its requirements.

Salary:
The Salary packages vary from low to high and on the basis of which kind of Job a person is doing. Mostly the heavy driver has internal and external equity in salary but when a home driver is concerned the diver is paid as per family requirements and expectations. More hard and time taking job tends to have more salary.

Requirements:
It goes without saying that no company or individual can take a driver without proper experience. The diver needs to have a license which should be legit also the experience proof which shall prove the authenticity of the driver’s claims. The salary and packages in Saudi Arabia is as charming but in case of not having legit icy and going a bit illegal in all job process can make an individual go all the way to prison which might be a career suicide.

Why should I do a driver’s job in Saudi Arabia:
The Roads are well constructed.
Cheaper Price of Gas or Petrol. Saudi Arabia was ranked 59 out of 60 countries regarding the cheaper gas. If you are driving in Saudi Arabia gas prices are of minimal concern.
                Disadvantages:
The Only disadvantage regarding Driving Jobs is that, that Saudi Arabia is known as one of the only country where women are not allowed to drive. Actually women are allowed to own cars but not drive them. They can be arrested for driving but there is no formal law that can actually declare it illegal. Conclusion: Driving in Saudi Arabia is definitely undeniably dangerous. In view of many citizens living in Saudi Arabia , the two biggest problems causing traffic jams are absence of public transport systems like the ones in Dubai — buses services and metro trains —and low fuel price that encourages people to buy gas-guzzling vehicles. And because of the cheap fuel, there is no concept of pooling and sharing vehicles as well. I hope the authorities would take necessary measures to deal with this serious issue.
