I will need some opinions regarding a job offer in saudi arabia please?

I am a filipina being offered a job in Saudi Arabia (i think in Jeddah but I'm not sure) as a family cook for a family of 6-7. The employer sounded nice when we were talking over the phone, sounded like he's not a strict muslim and all. He said I will be fully in-charge of cooking healthy lunch and dinner for the family. He has a lot of Filipinas also hired as maids.
Also the salary is only around US$350.00/mo, 2 year contract, 1 off every 2 weeks, stay-in but whenever the family will be going to their place in London and in Egypt, I will also be going with them.
Do you guys think this is a nice offer? How is it living in KSA? I've been in Dubai for 1.5 yrs but I know KSA is much different. How is it going to be there for me? Any inputs or advice will be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

the employer just called back again and let me talk to a fellow filipina who is working for them, turned out the future employer is a sheikh

well to be honest... even though they specifically want you for a cook, most employers in Saudi, use domestic help in all aspects of their lives.. You might have to fill in with babysitting, cleaning etc even though you are a cook..
Life will be different in Saudi than Dubai.. You wont be able to just freely go about. You will have to stay at home. You might get cabin fever (feeling of closed in a lot) very quickly.. No mixing with other male domestic help. You basically wont have a social life for the time of your contract. You will be on call to fix them something to eat any time of day.. Even though they say lunch or dinner, be aware in large families, adults come and go (as do children) all times of the day and each person expects you to drop what you are doing and fix them a hot meal.. It gets tedious to constantly be cooking all day long.. Also Ramadan is coming up in 2 and 1/2 weeks.. are you ready for that?.. Most Saudi's sleep all day long and just wake up a few hours prior to sunset to break fast, and then stay up all night long.. Your nights and days will be mixed, YOu as a cook will be expected to prepare the "breakfast" foods for the Ramadan meal, so you have to get up during the day and cook and bake, and also stay up late long hours cause they need meals in the night during this month.. GET READY for this..

Saudi Arabia is a very strict country regardless of what the employer said. Life is very hard for women there let alone non-natives that are employed as hired help. I wouldn't go and the pay is not good at all.

You better think long and hard on this job lady. Saudi Arabia is an extreme Arabic county. As a muslim county they treat women like cattle. Most likely you will need a bag to go over your head. Quite frankly I'd turn it down.

There are some real horror stories out there. Be VERY CAREFUL. I'd ask to have a long phone call with another Fillipina who is already working for him. Be 1000% certain you trust what they say before going to KSA. Dubai is a better place for a woman to work.

First & foremost every plan we make always do it by praying..Ask God a sign if that place (saudi arabia) is best & secured for you. Life here in KSA is very far different. The most important thing is the employer so, my advice is depend & pray to God I know HE will give u the best answer. Start praying now ok?Remember muslim country is not the same like ours.To God be the glory!!!

now that you talked to your potential employer and other maids then it is your decision. We used to have many Filipinos working domestically and they never had any complaints or problems but they are like from the country side. I also think he should give you more money since you are not maid but cook. TAKE IT.

Pay should be at least twice that amount.

it totaly depends on the people some are angels some are animals

If you have lived in Dubai, KSA is hell !
Sexual harrassment is very common !
People are naturally rude. No thanks no please no nothing !!!
just : bring ! take ! go ! etc... check with the fellow filipinas there ...

It is not that if Saudia is a strict country or not, but as being a woman, you should be careful.
It is not for sure that you will be trapped or those horror stories you have been told are right, but in this part of world there is a lack of proper care and security of human rights in general. Hence people here are mistreated sometimes and the criminals get away easily. They also prefer to protect Saudi nationals if it comes to law and law enforcement.
Besides if salary is not so good, why you are trying to come that much away from home?
Moreover it will better if you can move along with your family, which sadly is not possible as per their labour laws so far.

Are you Muslim? If so then don't worry about any of the stuff everyone is telling you. Is the money He's offering you more then you make now and will it aid you and your family. I say this to you, you have to make decisions for yourself and not let others influence them or make them for you. peace I hope I helped a little.
