Hi all,

I hope you might be able to help me, I am looking at a move to Jeddah in late January.

I am getting really worried since I started looking at the issue of accommodation.

Ideally a 1 bedroom apartment in a compound would be my ideal place (Arabian homes seems to be the one most recommended).

Could I get an idea of the best compounds, prices, availability and the best way to approach the issue of the long waiting lists.

Really would appreciate any help ..... from a very worried Irish man!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Michael

Saudia City is about 45000 for a single and 70000 for two room, if you can gain access. They may not like the idea of your being without a family as it is considered a family compound.

Pity about the Guinness, but don't worry I'm sure that you will find some Harp agus Uisce beatha

Search the Jeddah posts for any by Trapezius as he has given extensive information about the compounds.

As for not being on a waiting list it is all in who you know or who your company has contacts with. I am told some have to wait months or a year to get a place while others have no wait at all for the same compound.

Hi Somurchu,

May I ask the price you mentioned is utility fee included? Or just the rental fee of Saudia city?
Thanks a lot!

Cheers

I believe it includes utilities as houses aren't setup with meters.
