This culture is influenced by the puritanical Wahhabi form of Islam and there are many limitations on behavior and dress codes are strictly enforced both legally and socially. Despite this, there are some really good things arising from this: Islam has set clear and firm rules as to how a husband should treat his wife. Kindness, humility, and understanding are the expected behaviors, with the intention being to not make her feel lower than him in status. Saudi men are actually very family-oriented and they care for their children and wives very much.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest state in western Asia; it is also one of the world's wealthiest nations. It has coastlines with the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The official language is Arabic. No faith other than Islam is permitted to be practiced, although there are many Christian foreign workers. Saudi Arabia's geography is dominated by desert and there are virtually no rivers or lakes in the country. It is characterized by a desert climate with extremely high day-time temperatures and a sharp temperature drop at night.
