Information on indian compound and cost of living in Al khubar

Hi All,

Am new to this forum and found site to be informative.

We are from Bangalore, India.

Self and my husband will be moving to al khubar soon. Would like to know the following information

1) Cost of living in al khubar - groceries , vegetable, gas , milk, transportation etc.

2) Furnished indian compound details with 1bk or 2 bk apartment in compounds. How much do they cost ?? What facilities will be there ? We are looking for good ones but not ver costly.

3) Unfurnished compound details , how much they cost for 1bk / 2bk.

4) In case, need to purchase furnitures , what will be the cost ? Will second hand furnitures available ?

5) Purchase of car - how much it will cost ?? basic model car.

6) How about eatables ? We are vegetarians and would like to know whether we get the required things .

It would be really great if I get response for the above queries.

Looking forward for your replies.

Thanks a lot,
Visa

Hello Visa,

Welcome to Indusladies...and we look forward to your arrival in Saudi Arabia soon .

Regarding your queries kindly refer to the discussion in Advice Required on Living in Saudi. If you have further queries, put them there. As Madhumathi mentioned, Krishnamma too could give you advice about the place and the cost of living.

I stayed in Alkhobar for a brief period of 5 months ...and we too are pure vegetarians. Not a problem regarding that....

All the best..

Thanks Madhumathi and Saraswathi for your responses.

Could you give more information about purchase of new furnitures or second hand furnitures ??


Thanks,
visa

Hi Visa,

You seem to have copy-pasted a earlier post from another thread (" Information on Indian compound and cost of living in al khuber") . When copy pasting some ad codes too got posted and so it was put in to moderation queue.

Now those codes are removed...You can now check your post..Its here .

Thanx and all the best .
