Al Khobar

Re: Al Khobar
Commuting from Bahrain on a daily basis in my humble opinion is difficult. The reason for this is that whilst most of the time it is a 50 minute journey, there are days when it is 3 or 4 hours, and the problem is that you never know when this is going to happen. My recommendation is to find a single person apartment here in Al Khobar and then go to Bahrain on a weekend if necessary.
There is a good network of Brits over here, and as everyone is in the same boat, just go up to them and get chatting and you will probably find people going off raod desert trekking etc

By the way I would rather spend some extra time in the car every day than live in Saudi. Actually if I had to live in Saudi I wouldn't work there! Not on my current salary anyway...

Send the details mate. That would be great.

I was recently transferred from Riyadh to Khobar. So far I haven't managed to find the social scene here. I don't really know anyone except my colleagues who aren't much for adventure or getting out. If anyone wants to be friends with a fun young American guy, or if you're aware of any social events or clubs I could have access to, please shoot me a message!
Also, this is a long shot, but if you happen to be in need of a DJ for a party, I work for free
Sorry, forgot to mention: I live in a single unit on a small compound and I'm pretty sure there are rooms available. I have no idea what the prices are like, but I can get you some contact info if you're interested. The compound isn't very lively but the rooms are nice enough. It's called Al-Falak.
