You know, there might not be one single reason why they ignored you--each person could have had a different reason to do it!
Like the others said, they might not have been Filipino. (But even so--not ALL Filipinos are hospitable/friendly! Just like every country in the world has different kinds of people!)
Or they might not have spoken English or Arabic well.
Maybe they were even afraid, or advised to act that way by their friends/co-workers, because of some bad experiences between expats (especially Asians) and the locals. Saudi is a very different place from Qatar.
Just keep your cool and always try to be nice. If they ignore, then that is their issue, not yours. You always have the choice to ask somebody else for help/directions. :)
