Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE

I never had the opportunity to receive the offer letter. They kept me waiting for 5-months and whenever I asked for update, very generic response "awaiting approvals to proceed". My profile still shows "submit docs"

Thank you in advance

I use STC and got a flexible plan when I got in. Will update at some point but still figuring out what I need.
Also, it has been said all over the place, but you really want to get a sim card at the airport when you arrive.

Hi DryC, not sure if you have looked but there is a weekly flight direct from LHR into Neom Bay Airport on a Sunday Departing 5PM. Duration only 5.5hours only, so I have requested this route personally - just awaiting confirmation.

Hi
Does anyone know why the direct flights London/Neom with Saudia seem to stop mid March onwards?

In NC1 I have wifi almost everywhere. It occasionally drops out when in the outer areas of camp where they have installed wifi into each cabin. When this happens I use the cabin WiFi (they all have a generic password so easy to use any cabin).

Re: NEOM COMMUNITY UPDATE

Hi everyone,

First I would like to thank all of you for all those great and helpful information, we highly appreciate!

Currently in the onboarding process for Oxagon and father of one teenage, I have been disappointed to see that NEOM school stop at grade 9.

I asked my onboarding team for alternative solution and tips but they didn't come back yet.

Anyone have tips r clue how to stay united family and work in NEOM with teenage ?

Thanks for your help !

Hello everyone,

For those who are already at camp, what is the process around "borrowing/renting" cars from Neom and what types of cars are available?

Thanks!

I feel for you, as my process takes months. But stay positive and keep trying. I always believe there is a place for right people to work in this project. Hopefully, there is a good news in a few weeks time.
