Moving to Al Khobar from Bombay

Hello all, this is Saloni and my husband has got a Job in Al Khobar. He has to move there in Feb. I had the following questions

1. I have two school going children - 8 and 4 yrs old, we want to stay in a area which has a indian comunity and has some activities for kids and me. Pls suggest suitable place to stay.

2. How long will it take for me to join my husband -- I hear the Iqama takes a lot of time. Is it easy to get admission in the mid term in the Indian school.

3. What is the budget for a compund house where there are Indians, we have a budget of 55000-60000 SR. Will we get a good compound at this budget?

4. What are thine things I should and should not bring with me when I move?

request you to please answer my questions as I am really anxious about our moving to Saudi and Al khobar. this is the first time we are moving out of India:)

Hello mehtavd,

Hope you have smooth relocation to Alkhobar.
There a few of our members in KSA and some in Alkhobar too . I too lived there for a short period of 5months before moving to nearby Al Jubail.
Visit Advice Required on Living in Saudi. and I guess, you will get a clearer picture. You will helped if you have further queries too.

All the best.

Bye

Welcome to Al khobar
Good location.I live here, intially staying in Saudi is shocker but u get used to.
There are lots of good compound but long waiting list n expensive.
In uer budget there is Dossary, Seaview n others.
Lived in Dossary not the best houses but Gr8 indian community and open lot.
My kiddos are young so cant help with school but belive Indian school is good.
Hope uer move is smooth
