Saudi Arabia has alien permanent residents? They don't even have tourist visas. Citizens of other GCC countries who are married to Saudi citizens? Maybe veteran (20+ year) executives of Aramco?

(I only mention the latter because I have a friend whose father is the highest-ranking foreigner at Aramco and he considers Dammam to be his home town)

Iran.

Besides the relatively better political and human rights situation versus SA, Iran has a better long-term economic outlook (as it has actual talent and non-petroleum natural resources).

Plus, I have some Persian friends (as opposed to 0 Saudi Arabian ones) so I have some familiarity with Iranian culture. And Persian/Iranian history is so interesting! I sincerely wish to visit the country and see its sights at some point in my life.
