Post new topic

Hi everyone, I'm looking to move to Jeddah in October as a nurse in King Faisal Hospital and just wondered if anyone could give me any need to know advice. I have reasearched the cultural differences there and think it will be a new and exciting opportunity but at the same time rather nervous! I'd love to hear from anyone who is there already :) Thanks Kathryn XXX

WELCOME.. if you can duck past the 10000 personal messages you are likely to get here then stick about... quite a few women around who will give you sound advice...

did they tell you where you will be living outside of work..?. that is the key thing.

If you find living in the UK a bit dull, if you like the challenge of new experiences both good and bad, if you like the heat (!), you'll have a blast. If you spend all your time complaining it's not like the UK or that you can't get x,y, & Z then it'll be less fun. Come with an open mind, wing it and you'll be fine :)
I've been to worse places and many of them are in the UK!

How to Survive in Saudi as a Western Woman
1. Live on a Western Compound.
2. Learn you have to dress modestly, ie keep your legs and arms covered.
3. Keep an Abhaya in the bottom of your handbag at all times.
4. Make sure you have access to a driver, otherwise your husband is going to hate going to the supermarket in his off time.  You can't drive yourself in this country.
5. The lack of Alcohol does not worry you after a while.  It was the lack of personal freedom that got to me when we lived there.  It is hard to adjust to being in what seems an alien environment.
6. Go to the local Mums and Tots group meetings even if you don't have children with you.  It is a good way to meet other expat women and make friends... you can always make the tea and coffee.
