Looking to share a furnished flat or a house in Jeddah

Hi Gary,

Welcome to expat-blog 

Hope you are doing good.

Since you have arrived to Jeddah, how do you find it?

All the best,
Bhavna 

Hi Bhavna,
So far it has been tolerable, only just. My hotel is not the best, my company is a bit stingy, and sometimes I feel that I am interned in my room for being such a naughty boy ( my room window overlooks a wall).

Yesterday I took a cab to downtown Jeddah, it was interesting and hot. I felt that I went back in time, like I was in Dubai 40 years ago.

Any how I think the only way is up. I just need to sort out my accommodation situation, then sort out a car, then get ready to face the monumental challenges waiting for me at work. Apart from that all is well.
tell me about you, how long have you been here and what do you do.
talk soon,
Gary

Welcome on board 

For accommodation you can check out the housing section in the green banner above the page and you can post your search there too. For transportation  you can check out the classifieds.

And just for your information: Bhavna is a member of the moderation team as you can see at the title under her avatar 

Why is the moderation team communicating with me as though they are possible contacts? The mind boggles. I am looking for someone to help me and not for someone who is cavessing my opinion about life in Jeddah from the moderation team.

Look on expatriates.com for listings, or maybe contact one of the big western compounds (basteen, arabian homes, sharbatley) & see if any of their apartments have an opening or have renters looking for flat mates

benefit of the forum I guess

but as mama said, expatriates.com or u go with an option of furnished apartment, no need to get furniture or anything else for that matter, all depends on your budget and needs.

@Auzzziechap

For accommodation it all comes down to what budget you have and which area you want to live. It would help to live close to your work place until you get a car; it is helpful even after you have a car considering the traffic.

Also advisable is to find a flatmate who is a professional so that individual spaces are respected and kept.

I am looking to move to Al Hamra but will be a while before I can as tied with my current flat contract.

Hello Gary, welcome to Jeddah.
I recommend you to act quickly because its summer vacations times and people are coming from outside Jeddah to occupy most of the vacant apartments, mostly furnished.
Check out the housing section at expatriates.com/dubizzle.com/waseet.net. You can also contact local property dealers (maktab Eqaar), off course they will charge you for the service.
