Moved to jeddah..accommodation advice pls

Hi all

i will move to jeddah next month.. and i am very concerned regarding my accommodation. My company will make me stay for 1 month at a hotel till i find an apartment. i have 50K for housing allowance in addition to another allowance for furniture. so please advice with the following:

-can i get 1br apartment or a studio in a compound in jeddah with 50k?
-does it matter what is my nationality in finding a vacant place in a compound? (i am egyptian" arab")
-if i could not afford living in a compound, can you recommend decent districts to live in at jeddah
-can you share any online contacts (emails/websites) for such places

thanks :)

this is a rather old post.. but mostly applicable. one of the members discusses compounds and districts in jeddah
