re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

I moved into a two-bed in Sept 2021.
I can see a whole bunch of brand new two beds and what seem like hundreds of one-beds from my window. The construction goes on all day and until very late at...

Re: NEOM accommodation

I would personally not bring a dog but some have. There is a large German Shepherd here too. Keep in mind that there are no private enclosed gardens so you can't let your dog roam freely. Saying...

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

We (family and I) came as direct hire.

If it's a 6 month contract initially and the money is good, I'd do it.
Happy to discuss more in messages.

Re: Books banned in Saudi Arabia?

Great tip about checking Amazon KSA and using a Kindle. Thank you.

Books banned in Saudi Arabia?

Hi,

Moving to KSA soon. Do they check suitcases at all on arrival into Jeddah? I'm in the middle of these two books - would they be taken off me if found?

Haven't moved over yet but from what I've seen on Instagram and through talking with current residents, the accommodation varies depending on which camp you're living in. From my understanding there...

Re: Moving to KSA - is it worth it?

Sounds like Neom? Why can't you take your family with you? My understanding is there are already some families residing there with several more (I think in the hundreds?!) due to move out later this...

Great to hear about Amazon. What storage company did you go with (Assuming you are storing in the UK?)

Can I ask, when you moved out there, what did you do with your furniture and personal belongings where you lived previously? Long-term storage with plans to ship later...

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

I was told by a former Saudi resident today that it can take up to 6 months, mainly for an Iqama for an employee + dependents but that it's quick for an independent employee. Is that right?

Interesting. I spoke to a Neom employee recently who told me they are on a business visa. Maybe there's some confusion in the visa names. But this employee said that their visa needs renewing every...

Thanks for the reply. When you say some people have been getting their Iqama quickly, how quickly is that? Most importantly, what's the food like? Lol

Both kids are not yet school age but when it gets to that point I'd probably need to take them to Dubai or stay in Jeddah or Riyadh. Apparently a nursery is opening in Neom later this year which I...
