Hey all,

I'm from the UK, and have just accepted a job in Khobar at BISAK. I will be moving to Saudi in August. I believe the school is located in the Oasis Gardens compound, but I haven't been able to find much online about it?!

Does anybody out there have any useful info for me to know before I get out there??

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi Sarah

Welcome to BE from me too and good to see you have already posted on the Middle East forum.
I am sure those already living in Saudi will be only too happy to give you lots of useful tips and advice to help you settle in and make the move go smoothly.
They also have meet ups so I am sure you will be making some new friends before long as well.

All the very best with your move and your new job - don't forget your suntan lotion !!

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Some of my colleagues at KFUPM had wives teaching at BISAK. Good school with a good reputation.

I've been in Saudi 5 months now, and just loving it!!!

That's really wonderful to hear. I see you've only done 5 posts on BE in that time. You're probably busy with work, but I imagine you can give some others some good tips in the Middle East section about living and working in Saudi. Just a thought.
