Re: Moving to Khobar

Post Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 3:41 pm

Hanane, i will try to be less worry, my husband send me photos of khobar and is very nice, we have two girls, he found a school for the big one, and activities for her, the small one, she is still a baby. For them the only thing make me thinck is the lenguage (english).
For me if everything is confortable i dont have a problem even if i need to wear this black dress. When we were in lebanon the people said a lot of bad things about the live in saudi arabia, thats why some times im worry. But now my husband is in khobar, he only say nice things about live, food and work.
I hope I can find a job there. Smile

cool.... nella apparantly we have a same small difficulty (english) i am frensh-arab speaking and ill study english in school for ladies the time when i am searching a GOOD job you can do the same for your girls(in girl school),i wear aabaya(black dress),no baby yet.
trust me life in lebanon is completely diferent thats why people said bad things.
about job for expat ladies i think that its more difficult than what you think(it deppends on what kind of job you are looking for:low level,medium or high)

Hello Piatro,
I´m in Ecuador but my he husband is there, he told me there are very nice compunds, they have everything, pool, gym, restaurants, supermarket not all but the expensive ones they have. My husband is outside the compound, the company gave us an apartment, furnished and ac.
The food is not expencive, you can find everything you want.
Entertainment dont thinck about it, dvd, restaurants, walking, if you are in a compound you can use d epool, gym. You can find Burguer king, Mc donalds, chilis..........from there to arab restaurants.
If you are alone, no problem, but if you have wife and kids, for your wife need to wear black dress, no drive, no walking without covering herself. But if she find work is better.
I hope i help u with this. Something else you need ask me.
Good Luck
