Help ...Looking for a compound in Jeddah
Will soon be looking for a place to live in Jeddah and hope someone can give us some good advice on compounds available and what to look (lookout) for.
After a 3 bedroom furnished detached Villa, preferabley with garden or own space out back. No kids so no school required. Would like shops, pool(s), restaurants, gym but not worried about tennis or any other sports. Doctors ? Buses to town, beach and limo service. Internet access and satellite would be good (try to keep up with the footie, cricket and golf :) ). Also both avid golfers so any advice on golf courses, fees etc also welcome All advice very welcome Thanks.... |

I asked a question about compounds in Jeddah and you tell me you hated Jeddah....not very useful...what has it got to do with finding accommodation ? Maybe I should have asked what's it like in Jeddah and does anyone hate it but then again it wouldn't help me find anywhere to live !
Firstly...have you lived in saudi before? |

Fair point...you not asked your new employer to assist you? Or your employer put you in touch with people already living there, maybe they can help?
Good luck. Havn't lived in the Middle East before. All over Europe and the Far East but I'm prepared for something completely different just not sure exactly what yet .. |

Good point... I will be taken around some compounds by my employers when I get there and hopefully that will be sufficient...just thought I would try this site and see if anyone already living there had any advice, would also be nice to have some contacts over there.
Havn't lived in the Middle East before. All over Europe and the Far East but I'm prepared for something completely different just not sure exactly what yet .. It's like saying im going to eat rat poison,...never tried it before. I can assure you......it will be completely different. Odds are that you have already jacked in your old job so its too late for you now. Pls dont get stroppy, we are not all haters, we are just giving you honest advice. Rgds JD |
