Anyone in the ME or connections there have opinions on the current Yemen/Iran vs Saudi conflict? Missiles have been fired at Riyadh. From what I understand, SA has a very well funded defense system, but is this much ado about nothing? Potential war?? Should I be concerned for my families safety if moving? We would be an hour north of Jeddah, on the shores of the red sea. Thanks

That devolved pretty quickly, but I really do appreciate the opinions from those that have spent time or know those that have. I too have 1 IT friend that says NO WAY and another that says GO FOR IT! Based on all available research I've been able to do the "no way" friend seems to be the outlier.

Saudi Arabia doesn't seem to have the best reputation as a place to live for foreigners. Anyone have any experience, or know someone that has worked in KSA? Specifically, I'm looking at KAUST so I'd be living on a large compound, which by all accounts looks very nice.
