Saudi-Arabien hebt das Alkoholverbot für wohlhabende Ausländer auf

Interestingly enough they initially banned it because a prince got wasted with a British diplomat. The prince later shot the diplomat for not giving him more alcohol when it was clear the prince was at his limit.

I can totally see this happening again with the current Prince running around. lol

Luxury and freedom for the rich

Religion and rules for the poor .

The world is the wealthy’s playground, and the rest of us are just their staff.

It’s so they can get rich foreigners to do their PR for them. Hopefully the plebs will still know it’s a horrible country.

The hypocrisy. It never changes in Saudi Arabia.

I was in Mauritania once for work where alcohol is also banned. One night after work my driver asked me where I would like to go to eat and I jokingly said „somewhere I can get a beer“. He took me to a hole in the wall takeout restaurant and told me to go inside. As soon as I entered the owner ushered me into a passage and through a doorway that opened into an opulent garden restaurant with trees and fountains, and alcohol. All the diners were either foreigners or rich looking locals.

My old boss used to travel to SA regularly on business

All the locals would board the flight in London wearing their European suits and casual dress.

Knock back some beers and whiskey on the plane and before landing don their dishdashah!

once again, religion and cultural views only need to be followed by the poor

Halal in the streets.
Haram under the sheets .

Religion for poor, playground for rich.

They were likely drinking already given the wealth.
