Rent in al-kharj in riyadh (KSA)

Accomodation in Al Kharj is cheap compared to Riyadh (about half!!)  I would suggest for a 2 bedroom unfurnised apartment, you would pay approximately 27,000rs pm or 1,600 sar..

Good luck..

Hi,

Would be working at this University -  http://www.sau.edu.sa/?.

I assume that initially the University would provide acco till you can find a place to stay?.

Rent shouldn't be that high at Al Kharj

Vijith.

Living in Saudi as a single woman, especially if not provided compound accommodation, will unfortunately not be good!  However, I am a male and live off compound, and I am fine with it, but I have the freedom to go where I want when I want and have the freedom to drive there too.

I think living off compound would be too restrictive.

This is only my opinion, from my limited experience out here.  Please try and get first hand female experience before you take my information as gospel!!

Best of luck.

Tony

DO NOT make payments for anything up front to anyone!!

Have you physically spoken to anyone from the university?  I don't want to dampen your excitement, but make sure this facility is real and any communication written or verbal, contains correct and verifiable details, there are some unscrupulous people out there who are just out to make a few riyals!!

Good luck

Tony

ok thanx

hi

I also have a Job offer from this university. I am supposed to join there in the month of august.

I do not know about the life of a hindu female in saudi arab. I am asking for my wife as she will also stay with me there.
Kindly share if you have some more information about the problems which a hindu female can feel in saudi arab.

Hi Mukesh,
Life in Saudi/Riyadh hasn't got many options for entertainment. Saudi Arabia is a good place for South Asians to live longer and save some money (less expensive than other GCC countries). The only thing you have to keep in mind that females have to cover themselves with black cloak, no temples, no alcohol and cinemas. Rest assured, there's nothing to worry about Saudi Arabia
