What Questions Do You Have About Saudi Arabia?

“Ask a Correspondent” will take your questions to Vivian Nereim, our Gulf bureau chief.Feb. 11, 2026, 10:46 a.m. ETIt’s hard to overstate the breakneck pace of Saudi Arabia’s recent transformation. A kingdom once known for its religious police and its ban on female drivers has become, in the span of a decade, a place where women can travel, work, even attend mixed-gender raves, and where some people can buy alcohol.All of this has been overseen by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has, at the same time, deepened political repression in the already-authoritarian monarchy, turned himself into a global power player and become something of a Trump whisperer.And all of it has been covered by our Gulf bureau chief, Vivian Nereim, who has been based in Saudi Arabia since 2015. Tell us what you’d like to know about the country and about her job.We’ll pick a few questions for her to answer in The World newsletter.
