Saudi Arabia: Yanbu Compounds:

The Cove is a new compound and is on the Royal Commission, which is the 'westernised' area where you will find most hospitals, western shops etc. It has 300 villas and is for western expatriates only. There is a lagoon and 2km of white beaches actually inside the security perimeter of the compound. Arabia Homes is an older compound about 13 Km out in the desert from Yanbu Royal Commission. It's ok, but it's a bit old and crowded. Also allows non-westerners and no lagoon and beaches of course. I'd say the Cove no question - and they are about the same cost. Hope that helps!

Saudi Arabia: Medicine in Jeddah:

Jeddah has a supperb healthcare system. You'll have no problems at all. But it's not free - so check your medical benefits.

Saudi Arabia: Saudia City Jeddah:

It's a bit tatty and not up to western standards - but it's safe. Try to get put on Arabian Homes or Basateen Compound instead if yoiu can.

Global Expat Forum: Moving to Yanbu:

Only two choices. Arabian Homes or The Cove Yanbu. (Google both). The Cove is far better. Call them on +966 (54) 114-1570. Don't have Arabian Homes number handy, but it's on the website. Good luck!
