Saudi Arabian Research Paper

Satisfactory Essays

My father is Saudi and my mother is Egyptian. Living in Saudi Arabia as a Saudi with an Egyptian mother made people treat me as a second-class citizen. I was always “The Egyptian” in Saudi and when I used to go to Egypt I was treated as “The Saudi”. Therefore, I never felt that I belonged in any of the two countries. Because of the hierarchy of nationalities that Saudi Arabia has being Saudi-Egyptian opened a lot of gates to me in terms of meeting people. As Saudis formed groups of friends that are only Saudi I did the opposite. In school most of my friends were internationals. When I came to the US my friends were from all nationalities and races. I am able to connect with people faster and I understood that there’s nothing as a flawless culture.
