I am heading out to KSA early in November, trying to get a joint venture between a Saudi and an Irish comapny up and running. It will be mostly meeting and greeting and getting a feel for what's needed up to Christmas, then, all being well, hit the ground running in the new year.


I've no idea what my accommodation will be yet, possibly a hotel before Christmas and apartment/compound in the New Year. All will be revealed, I'm sure


I'm sure I'll have plenty of bone questions for you in due course, but for now I'm just heading out and seeing what's what!


Already regretting the username. It's what my (soon to be ex) mother in law used to call me because I could never settle


Nice little corner of the site here, looking forward to being a part of it

Not long in Bahrain but going slightly mad with the lack of social activities that don't revolve around being gouged by hotels / bars.

Also looking for a good quality mechanic that:
a. is honest
b. is reliable
c. is actually a mechanic
d. can speak English (not Hinglish or Erabic)
e. has a clean and tidy workshop

Do we ask too much????

I just arrived in riyadh a week ago I came here to look for jobs I am not british but I joined here because this was the only best expat forums I could find that had all my answers.

Am I allowed here because I am not british citizen?

Are any Brits living in Northern Emirates, especially anyone playing sports?

Take care
