Hi,
I am currently waiting to receive my official contract and am due to start working in King Faisail in January.....I am pretty nervous about this if I'm been honest but would love to get some advice from people who are living/working in Riyadh already -as to what to expect, what I will need, essentials that I should bring and just general advice? Thanks in advance!

I know a few people who work at King Faisal, and their accomodations are on the premises itself. If that's your story. Then you'll be totally fine.

You'll be in good hands with the group of expats there. All nice and active.

As for what to bring with you. Well, it's not a 3rd world country. You'll find pretty much everything here. So don't stress about it too much.
