Saudi Arabia: Yanbu Compounds:

Hi, I am wondering about Yanbu compounds locations, prices (2 BR), safety, also, what are typical costs of services (3 people family), i.e. water, electricity? How far (time/distance) are they from "SABIC'S IBN RUSHD"?

Saudi Arabia: Igama:

Hello, Once a person arrives at KSA, which is time average to obtain the Igama? It is a personal step? or it can be done in my name through the company that hired me?

Saudi Arabia: Moving to Yanbu:

I am from Venezuela and accepted a job in Yanbu with a SABIC related company. I am wondering about some topics: 1) schools for my daughter (she has 13 years old) 2) some useful tips when I will arrive to KSA, 3) Are compounds the smart decission to live / housing?, 4) any comment about passport and igama?, 5) It will be a problem with saudi officials to carry with me a laptop? I will appreciate your comments
