I'm a TEFL teacher so am thinking of going to the new KAUST - King Abdullah University of Science and Technology to teach. Can anyone give me any honest opinions on cost of living / lifestyle etc there?

Hi Erica,

I know somebody who works at KAUST.  The thing you need to know is that you are expected to be married to your job (to their credit, they do state in their employment ads that employees need to be prepared to work long hours). 

However, the pay is excellent and you would most probably be living on the campus so your overhead would just be the cost of food.

Best of luck! :)
