Looking for info on compounds in Kohbar
Hi everyone, just new to this forum and I was hoping someone could help me with compounds in Kohbar. I am working at Aramco JSTC in Mubarraz and I have been here since early December. I wasn't given much choice on where to live when I was dropped of and have been staying in an apartment which is not what I was expecting. Some of the guys I work with travel back and forth to Kohbar and stay in compounds there and I would feel better staying in one as well. I have been given the names of 3 and was wondering if anyone has stayed in or knows of someone who has. I have the Euro village and the Gulf compound as well as the Golden Belt, any info on these would be very much welcomed.:unsure:

I know Eurovillage and used to go from KFUPM to eat at the restaurant there. It is ok and is in a good location. (KHOBAR is the conventional transliteration from Arabic.)

If armed guards are the requirement then any of the ones mentioned will do nicely. Any compound with more than 30% westerners will get the army rocking up outside IIRC. This is just one of the results of the 2004 Oasis Residence terrorist attacks in Khobar. :( They used to have a massive cannon pointed at the cars wanting to enter the Meridien on the corniche as well. Used to make me more than a little nervous really.. |
