Re: Doha vs. Dhahran - A tale of two offers

Re: Doha vs. Dhahran - A tale of two offers

Re: Doha vs. Dhahran - A tale of two offers

I had more fun living 4 years in KSA than in living 11 years in Dohell. THAT I can tell you for sure. Oh...and I met my (western) husband while living in KSA. Just sayin'.....

Re: Long term posting to Riyadh - housing ideas?

Almost all the better compounds have apartments/serviced studios for short term stay.

Re: Long term posting to Riyadh - housing ideas?

What Millhouse said.
Get a flat on a decent compound. Otherwise forget fun and games.

Ya, that works for a bout the first 6 months. After that, No. Get the **** out of my way or else. Is not unheard of.

Re: Please HELP for QATAR!!! Moving from USA

In short, NO. This is,IMHO, not good enough.Not worth it to come to Qatar.
