Default Moving to Saudi - Khamis Masheet

Well we posted her a few months back when my husband was looking at jobs overseas - mainly ME - well in the end he was offered a few - 2 in Dubai, 1 in Abu Dhabi, 1 in Qatar, 1 in Kuwait and 1 in Saudi - well we decided to take the one in Saudi - the wage is good, contract good, package good and a pefect starting point for us to begin travelling as a family! It is in an area not far from Abha - Khamis Masheet - in the mountains, so one thing the climate will be a little more temperate than it would be anywhere else! He will be head of chemistry, working for the Saudi Military at the hospital grounds teaching the children of the hospital staff!

Very excited to go will be moving in about 3 - 4 weeks - we are currently in a packing frenzy!! LOL! Just waiting for his visa to be sorted - the school are dealing with the most part of that and then the flights will be booked and we will have our exact date!

Look forward to reading all about it.
Good when people come back and detail their experiences- always a 'newbie' stepping up to the Odyssey and grateful for info from those who have gone before.

Make sure the accomodation is sorted out BEFORE you go out there - there isn't much of it in Khamis Mushayt.............. good luck, you'll have a good time.

(PS - very quiet down there though........)
