Welcome to the KSA

Moving into Sara compound in 4 weeks, I'm a single make from UK what are there single women on the compound? And how easy is it to hook with single women? I've herd you can't get into a relationship in Saudi but people must do it!?

It is my understanding that living in a compund might not be as strect as the outside.

especially if the compound for the foreigners only

He intends to move me and our toddlers there together for the first time. So please how is life there generally and what should I expect. I was told i wont be permitted to work but can I work after the 90days expires? I am just too nervous about what lies ahead. I hope everything works out fine.

Actually, your predicament is common in this country but depends on the company.  In my company any emergency case/s is giving immediate action so we don't have any kind of situation such as yours.

If you have your own vehicle I suggest that you may seek the help of the Labor Ministry in this case.  Take with you all the necessary documents, as much as possible must be with Arabic Translation.

And from the Labor Ministry, you will know what is next.

Good luck.

But let me be frank with you, you can not save the life of your wife in being with her there in India.  You can only be with her so that you would know the real situation of your wife.

God bless.

Welcome ! I hope that you will enjoy your stay!

In cases like yours as per upgrading, you may seek your HR department.  Don't seek help from foreigners because all of them here seek assistance as well.

If your HR Department doesn't know how to help you, google it, you might find some answers.  Unless otherwise, we have some expats here who can really help you, then perhaps seek their help.

Wow!

Hi Julien,

I am moving to Khobar in the next couple of weeks.

I have been living in the middle-East for some years but have never been to KSA before and I hear alot form other people about it.

I would like to know what to expect from people who lives and works there.

I love sport and being active most of the time. I am interested to hear about some activities and things to do around there.

Many thanks. I may have to take you up on that 👍🏻

I have a lot of spare time in the weekends if anyone can advise on how to spend it and if there are any events that i can attend to.

My interests are
Diving
Camping
Watching Movies and series

Thank you all

Hi! Welcome to Riyadh, one of my favorite cities in the world!!!

Diving in Riyadh? can be done if you have car that would like to dive in the desert! I am not joking I see a lot of vehicles that go up to the mountain of sands then diving down!!!!  If you meant diving as in deep sea or ocean diving you may visit the Eastern Province and the Western Region because in the Eastern Region they do have the Half Moon Beach and in the Western Region they do have the Red Sea oh beautiful indeed!

Well I can join you in watching a lot of movies or tele-series (lol) with popcorn and non-alcohoic beer in can (another lol)!!!!   I'm also in Riyadh so I can accompany you if you need one (but I don't know if you like an old timer like me for a company, but definitely you can't have a lady to accompany you since this is not an open city or country, I 'm sure you knew that long time ago!

Well, I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Riyadh and most especially enjoy your job!
