Living in Abha, Saudi Arabia.

Hi all,

I should be moving to KSA after EID holidays - Inshallah- and i just wanted some information from expats who live there.

I will be working at King Khalid University. I wanted to know, decent places to live. I am a single 24 year old male from the UK.

I have a UK drivers license so i wanted to drive, potentially.
Places to go eat, or just generally socialise?

Any information on the place would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am of the people of the region

Hi aa1990,
I'm Haitham and from Riyadh Which is 1000 km away from Abha , I've been here for 7 years now , studying medicine in KKU ,
Abha is a small city in the south it's not that hot or cold - if u compare it with Riyadh- the people here r a little hard to deal with but generous , if u can get a n international drivers license it will be fine , but first u need to learn on left sided driving, there r allot of places to go eat , but places to socialize r not that much , u could email me for further information at
