This qualitative study aimed to explore Saudi female leaders' experiences in leadership roles in Saudi higher education. Moreover, this study offers an opportunity for Saudi female leaders to talk about barriers and challenges they face in the leadership positions in Saudi higher education. The sample consisted of 5 Saudi women leaders working in Saudi universities. The result of this research shows how female’s desire for advancement is sparse resulting from internal factors created by the Saudi females themselves, that such decisions were conscious, and generated by external factors associated with their societies’ and organizational practices. Furthermore, some recommendations and implications for future research were discussed.
