Which city would be best to work in?
- Jeddah
- Riyadh
- Al Khobar
Re: Working in Saudi
between jeddah and riyadh, jeddah is better. or..was better, not sure if it has changed now. dont know much about al khobar
Re: Working in Saudi
well..pehlee baat..depends on where ur pay is better…
n if its some self-employment sort of work…then ofcourse it depends on ur type of work…where it has more demands n stuff…
& as far as living conditions r…then…
jeddah has quite a large desi population…n lot’s of activities n stuff going on there…& then another advantage it has is…its close to makkah..n madinah…
but then it has lots of illegal activities going on there too…wahaan bohot gandh hai…
jeddah is quite economic too…for shopping u have more variety…in terms of products…prices…services..etc…
traffic…uff…terrible…terrible..traffic…
ab riyadh…
well…riyadh is the capital city…its quite expensive…a good desi population…not as large as jeddah…neither as much variety as jeddah…
n traffic …bohot rush hote hai riyadh main… not good…
finally…al khobar…luv this place:hugz:
a very decent & quite place…a bit expensive…not a very large desi population either…but its the most decent out of the 3 places…
traffic prob is a lot less too:)
PS:just my personal opinion…been to all the places…
Re: Working in Saudi
it depends on ur profession
like for IT professionals i think all three places are good
where as for engineers ,Alkhobar and Jeddah has more oppurtunites for them i guess:hmmm:
and from activities point of view just like sara said jeddah and al khobar are better places

jeddah has the best schools
continental school and jeddah prep are the best in saudi
Re: Working in Saudi
well I was born in Al Khobar and my dad lived and worked in Al Khobar for 40 years. According to him its a very nice and quiet place. Seaside is nice, and also you're only 10 mins away from Bahrain if you run out things to do in Al Khobar.
Obviously, Riyadh and Jeddah are much bigger cities and a lot more activities. If you like big cities, tons of activities, lots of people, busy roads...then Riyadh or Jeddah would be best for you. If you like the quiet, small cities..then Al Khobar is the place for you.
Re: Working in Saudi
