Working in Tabuk/Al Jouf

my husband was also offered a position in either al jouf/tabuk. i believe the two are not very expat friendly and neither are their locations really good. we asked the agent for a post in riyadh and they gladly transferred us. we've been in riyadh before and loved it!

Hi

Many thanks for the feedback!  I am going to contact the agent immediately and request placement in a more western environment.

Regards

Andries

I'm Jamie.  I'm also traveling to teach English.  I actually requested Tabuk.  My son lives in Jordan.  I will be able to see my grand children more often. I'm from the US.

I finally arrived in Youf.  I had the option to stay in Riyadh but since compound accommodation is very expensive and hard to find, I figured that since I do not know the country at all, any place I go is going to be new.  I can do without the noise of the big city and prefer the relative isolation and conservative part of the Kingdom.

The countryside reminds me of Namibia, southern Africa, a country which I am very fond of.  One work week and then we have a break, giving me time to settle down.

I am really looking forward to the adventure!

I ended up in Buraydah at Quassim University. The students are wonderful.  We also will be having our break.  I will, God willing, be off to Jordan.
Take care.  I hope all is nice in Al-Jouf.

Sorry just asked him if he`s settled ,and that I  would love to get to know the area in saudi he will be living .

Sorry again Harmonie.

An ex colleague of mine from school, back in the 50's in Sri Lanka, who is now a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in California, is planning to take up an assignment as a Consultant Orthopaedist in Al Jouf by December 2011. I am sure "andrieso" may like to make contact with him when he arrives? he would also like to have some expat company during his short 6 month assignment there.
