Thought I'd start a separate thread for coning to RC Yanbu.
First I want to thank everyone who replied to my posts in other threads and answered via email. It has done a lot to put my mind at ease and to settle some of my wifes concern.
I'm an American in the NYC area entertaining an offer to go to work in Yanbu for Parsons SA Ltd in RC as a Safety Manager with housing/utilities for me and my family (wife and son) in RC but not in a compound or camp.
Is anyone staying in RC outside of a camp or compound with their wife and/or children? If so what is life like for your wife and children?
What internet access is available? Dial up? DSL? Satelite? Is is restricted?/controlled? Cellphone service how much? Satelite phone service? Satelite TV service how much and how much Western programming?
They are not providing transportation for me so how hard is it to get a car? Registration? Insurance? (If required?)
In general if you can tell us about your expereinces, good and bad living/working there, would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks in advance for all your help!!
