Aramco brats is a nickname applied to the children of (mainly expatriate) employees of Saudi Aramco oil company, some of whom may have been born in Saudi Arabia and others who came with their parents later in childhood.

The name applies equally to children who lived and attended school in any of the four main Saudi Aramco expatriate compounds: Dhahran, Ras Tanura, Abqaiq, Yanbu, and Udhailiyah, all but one located in the Eastern Province of the kingdom. In nationality, they may be United States citizens, Canadians, Europeans (of various nationalities), Arab (of various nationalities including Saudi), Indians, Pakistanis and a smattering of other mainly Asian nationalities. Saudi Aramco being over 65 years old, Aramco "brats" may range in age from their 60's to their teens.

i think it's not so bad..
it's a very different culture..as long as people adhere to it's laws.
as for kids..a bit restrictions there wouldn't go amiss..
it's a learning experience..as well as having fun in a lot of things.
u cant be bored as there's loads to do..
