Hi guys, i am a new member and would like to know if there are any members living in Al Khobar in Saudi

There's one or two that either are or have been, but most of us are Riyadh-based now.

We all make pilgrimages to Bahrain as and when though, so we pass through it - but not for long........ that causeway is just too tempting.

Hey jojo!

Lived and worked in Al Khobar for 6 years. We left in 2004 but still have a lot of good friends there. It is a brilliant place to be and we often get nostalgic for it!

Don't know if you are familiar with the middle east.....

One tip: Make sure..and I mean ABSOLUTELY sure that you are working for reputable company. Take nothing on " we'll sort that when you get there" crap. You have been warned!

And when you do get there have a sid&coke on me......

Thanks for the replies.

I have been working as a nanny for a lovely family out here for a year and am a regular at Nada and Las dunas!!

I love it here!

Sid and coke!!! You reckless little minx.........

Actually you might find that these days the real thing is easier to obtain than Sheikh Siddiqui.......

Ahhh Siddiqui...the joys of lighting it to see how pure it is....and then the fun of the seriously bad headache the next day after drinking it all night.

Hoofie2002,

I see you are in Perth WA..?
We are heading that way hopefully in Mar 2009. My wife has dual nationality and I am applying for perm residency under subclass 100.

We should keep in touch as we have quite a lot in common.
