After some wiki-research, I found that my facts on this were dead wrong.

It turns out that progressive Saudi Arabia was far more forward-thinking when it comes to the abolition of slavery than I had imagined, they abolished slavery in 1962 not 1965...

But to answer your question, A LOT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_slavery_timeline#1...

(But also, ahem...http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/13thamendment.html)

All smart assery aside, even today you are in big trouble as a Filipino or Eastern European maid or nanny if you choose or are tricked into setting up shop in Saudi Arabia

Fun fact: Saudi Arabia didn't outright outlaw slavery until 1965. (No, not 1865' 1965)

Things take time in that part of the world
