11 Worst Countries for American Expats

4. Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a challenge for expats for many reasons, especially when it comes to blending in. Only 41 percent of the participants in Expat Insider’s survey consider the locals to be friendly. Furthermore, adapting to the local culture is a challenge, with most of the expats saying they don’t feel at home in their new home.

Expats further have a big issue with adapting to the language in Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, most don’t find it hard to live in a country without speaking the native tongue.
