    The Middle East is much safer than the US in terms of crime and violence.

    Go and have fun.

    Women travelling alone are not allowed in Saudi Arabia, nor are they allowed to drive there.

    Of course its safe, there are millions of Americans and Eroupians there now. And arabs love to welcome vistors for any other land because its part of their culture.
