It's Not What You Think: An American Woman in Saudi Arabia

It's Not What You Think is a thought-provoking and eye-opening account of life in Saudi Arabia, offering a unique perspective on the country's culture and society.

Through the eyes of a naturalized American Muslim woman, we gain insight into the complexities of living in this insular patriarchal society, including the contradictions and confines faced by women.

The author takes us on a journey of discovery, from navigating the morality police to uncovering the freedom of the abaya, and reveals the surprising ways in which Saudi and Western expat cultures coexist within the boundaries of "don't ask, don't tell." Along the way, we learn about the traditions that define the identity of the Saudi nation and how to discern what is "culturally appropriate" versus what is required legally.

As we join the author on the hajj, we experience the intensity and spiritual high of the devout, and are left with a newfound appreciation for the richness and complexity of Saudi culture.
