Hi…

I am afnan and currently reside in riyadh, K.S.A.

I am from india brought up in Saudi Arabia.

I am holding a bachelors degree in commerce and pursuing my ACCA-UK meanwhile looking for a job aswell.

Hello

I am looking to move to Saudi and would be grateful for your advice

@Aliah Gaungoo The Capital city of Saudi Called Riyadh . It's a beautiful place to move to

This is Arshad Aziz,

I have 10 plus years experience in transportation industry and currently working for Hertz Rental Group at one of their corporate locations as Operations Manager. I am mainly looking for Job but if there is right opportunity for business then I don't mind investing in it. I have experience in Food industry as well. Also I need to know how I can get Iqamaa for my family as well since I want my kids to go to school in Saudi. JazakiAllah khairan for your guidance and help. Assalamoalikum .

Hello everyone,

I've recently landed in KSA-Jeddah after being hired by the national carrier of Saudia Arabia. I'm actually in the process to get my Iqama done (issue on that posted in another section) and also to prepare everything for my family who should join in few month.

I enjoy diving and all other water activities as well as all outdoors one.

During the past 12 years, we use to live in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and recently in Paris.

Hello Everyone, My Name is Nabel, I've been living in Saudi Arabia for the past 9 years, and during that time, I've had the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the life, rules and regulations here. I've encountered my own set of challenges and have found ways to overcome them. To help others who may be facing similar situations, I've decided to start a YouTube channel specifically tailored to assist Saudi expats. My goal is to provide them with the information and support they need to make their transition and experience here a lot smoother. If you're an expat, please check out my channel for helpful tips and advice.https://www.youtube.com/@SaudiExpat

Hey Everyone,

Recently moved to Khobar, KSA from London, England.

I enjoy outdoor sports such as tennis and football and would love to get involved in water sports such as diving if it's possible or in Bahrain.

I've also lived in Europe and Asia.

Thanks for reading,

My name is michael. I got here to riyadh 6 months ago.  I work as a security contractor for the dod.  I am hoping to spend  a few years here.  But I need to get verification about if i can use an international drivers license while I am here.  Thinking about buying a car or motorcycle next year. But I get a lot of different information from people on the street.
