Can anyone tell me what life is like working for BAE in Riyahd?

I may have the possibility to work there and would like to hear from anyone who works there. In particular, I am interested in finding out a little more about life on the compound, schooling and other issue related to living there with a family.

I have lived in KSA before, so I know about all of the general issues related to living there.

Any information is appreciated

You have lived there before and yet still manage to spell Riyadh incorrectly twice.

English teacher ? They often have problems with spelling, grammar and syntax ! I know - I was one ! BAe pays well but the job can be frustrating. Be porepared to be surrounded by ex-RAF types. And RSAAF officers and cadets.

Looks like it?

Not a BAE person myself but have friends on the compound. Housing is pretty good - nice compound with lots of facilities incl bowling alley, night club etc. One slightly negative point is that its at least 40 mins from town (on a good run), but quite near to the airport (for those all important holiday escapes). Compound is right opposite the race track which is pretty special - SR 180 for a decent VIP buffet plus about 5-6 races - I go to quite a few with the BAE folks and we have an 'under the table' wager . Your family will like it there as it has got loads of stuff for kids, and most the decent bazaars are held there quite regularly.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Imi7 for that information. It was very useful.
