Saudi wives will not allow housemaids from Morocco and Chile into their houses on the grounds they are beautiful and not as patient as Asian maids, a newspaper says. 

‘Sabq’ Arabic language daily said it had spoken to many women in the world’s largest oil exporter following rumors that the government intends to open the door for hiring domestic workers from Morocco and Chile for the first time. 

“Most of them said they reject this decision. Some of them said they do not want these maids because they are not as patient and hard working as maids from the Philippines, India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka,” the paper said.

“Others admitted that their refusal is because many Saudi families are already suffering because of pretty maids. They said they just do not want to suffer from the same problem on the grounds maids women Morocco and Chile are beautiful.”

The paper quoted a domestic workers agent in the Kingdom as saying he had already been contacted by women asking him to ensure maids arriving from Morocco or Chile are not beautiful. - emirates247
