It is actually KAUST.........wouldn't want you to get lost 'cause you don't know the name of the company you'll be working for, would we?

What was the story behind Faust again? Pact with the Devil in return for knowledge? Clearly not appropriate at all... :sneaky:

:thumbsup:Thanks for the replies,
I shall try not to get lost on arrival!
Let's hope it was definitely as spelling mistake and not a freudian slip.
In the meantime do either of you know if Herra Street in jeddah is a reasonable place to live?

Cheers,

pj44.

I would say the only decent place to live anywhere in KSA is a big ,western compound...but that is me. Other people may see that differently.
sorry, lived in Riyadh, don't know Jeddah.

Re: Gimme help! movin to Jeddah
 

hey, are you in jeddah or still in scotland ?

Re: Gimme help! movin to Jeddah
 

Herra Street is pretty long so you need more specific location details. What really concerns me is the word "outside" coz all that you will find outside Jeddah are deserts, mountains and the sea.

Re: Gimme help! movin to Jeddah
 

KAUST is the middle of the desert. Why are they giving you a place to live in heera street ? Thats 45 mins drive !

Re: Gimme help! movin to Jeddah
 

I don't know Heera St, but then, I wouldn't , cos I live in Riyadh.

BUT - I am about to relocate to Jeddah, will be living in Sierra compound , an Arabian Homes compound.

Give us a shout when your there and let us know how your getting along. I'll be in Jeddah late August.
