Info on Al khobar compounds

I live with my husband on a compound in al khobar it is tiny basic BUT it's cheap and you can put your own stamp on the tiny villas, which ate placed looking at the pool which is kept spotless the people are friendly and helpful and it is very close to the town is excellent for singles or couples but no room sadly for children.

Moved from Jeddah to here What a comedown!
Anyone had dealings with Al Rabwah Village or Rehab compound? Employer leased apartments for singles in these. They are furnished!! I have seen better in second hand shops. They are not cleaned for handover to new tenants, the 1 swimming pool is dirty there are no facilities apart from Rehab restaurant that looks like a large ghost room with 4 tables and no staff. A bus does ferry people to malls. Management often dismisses complaints and rude to the rather sorry looking workers, even found one sleeping in the hall outside my second floor apartment. Altogether not a place for non Muslim singles. Even the pocket handkerchief gym has to be unlocked and I have had bigger bathrooms. The list is endless. Would appreciate suggestions for a move next year allowance about 80000sr Must be a compound (female Brit)

Hi,

I was looking for some infos about compounds and came across your post. Next month my husband
will  arrive in Khobar and I will follow a couple of months after. If you don't mind can you give me some additional infos about your compound. It is just for the two of us.

Thanks for your help.

It is pretty run down if you take a flat. But the villas are good. My employer will not pay the rent for a villa for single people (British Council). Also there are no amenities. A pocket size dark gym a bus daily to shopping malls, as I work full time it's not much use to me.
I have visited other compounds and they vary depends on what your employer will pay.
Others have shops ,restaurants, bus services and better all round management. As I say it definitely depends on finance.
There are lots of malls that can be impressive if this is your first trip to the middle east.
I suggest you apply for membership to the British Club in Bahrain a nice day out. Dubai is also an hours flight away.
Life here is what you make it. The internet is on some compounds but Zain/STA are the best. I also bought a year with OSN satellite TV. A VPN for getting Netflix or putlocker no VPN needed for  TV/Movie entertainment.
You do not have to cover your hair but wearing an abya is a must. Now there is a fashion here in abyas so look at it as wearing a coat /jacket and you will not feel bad about them.
Get in touch when you get here or if I can be of any help xxx
All the best and it does take time getting dependent's paperwork done so patience

Hi Pesplin,

Thanks a lot of those helpful infos. It's not my the first time in the Middle East, but things change so quickly in this region and any recent news about living in this area is always welcome.
I will get in touch with you when I arrive. Take Care.

You can try Arabian property services. They have different compounds.  I have lived 2 of them with reasonable prices. One of them ''Samar'' it has 2 option. one of them is 1+1 apertments and the other one is 2+1 villas with garden. apertments are 48k Sar per year, villas 93k Sar per year.

And the other compound from same company is ''Shadad'' it has only 2+1 villas with garden with the price 95k SAr per year. but the thing is Shadad has around 10 villas and population is low.

three of them furnished (except TV and dish washer) has gym, pool, security etc etc etc
Only Shadad villas has dishwasher.

If you are interested let me know i can provide you some phone numbers to get in contact.

Do NOT go to GULF Compound or Rakah Palace whatever you do its terrible
