Hi and welcome to the bored. !!
A lot has been said already about the National Guard and it location.
Please do research.

How ever it is expanding a lot and the size of the national guard hospital complex will be very big when finnished,
In fact i think it will be a city within its self.

It is a long way out of town itself. about 40 minutes from the hospital to the centre of town say ie the Faisalah hotel.
In peak traffic, rush hour, you could easy double that time.

The british school is a long way in the oppersite direction,
Depending on which compound you get !!! may help you or not in your travels around town.
They do have at least 3 different compounds that i know of, as staff accomadations.
Hope this helps.
