Hello folks,

My name is Chadi and I have just landed 2 weeks ago. I am from Casablanca, Morocco. I came here to work for Sadafco (Saudi milk company).

This is my first time in KSA and I am looking forward to meeting new people, making new friends and discovering Jeddah and the country!

Cheers all!

Hi Chadi,

Welcome to Expat.com and thank you for your introduction. :)

If you have any questions related to expatriation, please feel free to ask them on the forum.
Where are you exactly in KSA ? How do you find the country so far?

Thanks,

Priscilla  :cheers:

Hi Chadi,
Welcome to Jeddah and hope its going good with you. Coming from Morocco, I am sure you are familiar with hot and humid weather. Its going to stay like this for more than couple of months. You will experience it yourself, enjoy your stay.

Jeddah is a good place to hang out with friends.

They have a good restaurant and a very reasonable price at the bay or just inside the city.

They have the Balad where there is a diversity of all nations and good shops can be found as well.

Try visit the Al Baik! KSA version of KFC, but surely is far far better.

There are good gyms around the city and oh don't forget the spa and relaxing massage! There are 8-10 good centers.

Like shesha? It's just around the corner buddy!

Good luck!

Hey chadi, welcome to Jeddah. I've been here for 10 years and I can see that our friends already told u some stuff. Being a Moroccan probably means u wanna play football huh? Let me know if u don't have friends to play with or if u want me to join u anywhere :) same goes for squash (but in this case we'll look for a court together).
All the best
