Living in Tabuk

@amandabigfoot

Hi,

I was living in Tabuk for 6 years , just before Neom started. Back in 2019 there were only few western compounds. Alfal Compound was the best, with mainly Americans and French. Didn't come cheap though.

But comuting 4 hours every day in Tabuk traffic is no go. You will be wasted after the first week. Tabuk doesnt offer anything as city apart from shopping malls.

But AlUlla is close and that's a spot you should not miss. 

Good luck,

Bogdan

Hi, looks like we're in the same boat. 

I am also considering moving to Tabuk as part of the Neom project, the project pointed me to the Alfal and Alrabwa compounds. I would be keen to learn more on these two, so would be great if anyone help shine any light on these.

From my limited research of the Alrabwa compound, this is primarily to cater for the BAE systems employees and military families and fairly well established and has a British international school. For the Alfal compound, Google maps has some review with some pictures which you might find helpful.

I have a feeling there will be many Neom employees living in Tabuk until the accommodation is sorted, and especially for those with families in tow. As Bechtel and Parsons have also only started, I hear that camps for the Main contractors staff will be a couple years from being done.

For me commuting two hours each way would be okay for me, and if there are enough Neom employees at the camp we can potentially do a car share.
