The expats who often come to Saudi Arabia thinking that it should be exactly like their own country are honestly setting themselves up for sadness. It is obvious that it will not be the same which is why it is another country- hence, another culture, tradition and language. At the same time, in my opinion, it is not any less than a western country and in fact, in many areas it is better. So again, no country is perfect. Every place has its pros and cons. You must consider the pros and cons for any country and what best suits you and what you are willing to compromise with. If you can't compromise with much, then perhaps its better to look for work in your own country where you can be happy. In terms of luxury for the average Western teacher, it’s better here than it is in the West, hands down. Also, people are very kind and generous which is something not very common to this extent in the West.
