Saudi Arabia: New:

Advice about what?

Saudi Arabia: Transport for Married Women:

I don't know who told you you can't take taxi's but they were wrong. I used taxi's all the time. Alternatively, you can take the name of drivers who have their own cars. I'm sure people you work with will be able to supply you with their names.

Saudi Arabia: Relocating to Saudi from Bahrain:

The only way a non Saudi can enter Saudi is with a visa from a sponsor ie employer. You cannot just decide to move there and go.

Saudi Arabia: Visa:

Depends on how much "wasta" the company has.

Saudi Arabia: What should I buy before moving to Saudi Arabia?:

I have no idea why the previous person said it was no place for a single woman because I am single was there for 8 years and had a blast. Was reluctant to leave. You can get most things in Saudi depending on where you live and what shops you go to. Sometimes it may be difficult to finds things like oxo cubes and some spices. Books are a little hit and miss, especially if you are reading a series. It may be adviseable to invest in an elctronic reader such as Kindle. Also maybe an idea to subscribe to a vpn. Saudi is what you make of it. Socially if you make the effort to go out and meet people and join clubs/societies you will have a great time.

Saudi Arabia: What are the Pro's & Cons of living in Saudi Arabia?:

Jeddah is the most cosmopolitan and lovely beaches. Lots going on. Dammam has the causeway to Bahrain.

Saudi Arabia: Activities Aramco:

Only if younwork there or have friends there

Saudi Arabia: Visa Profession:

No such thing as permanent visa unless you are Saudi.

Saudi Arabia: Visa process for KAU:

The visa process is done by your employer you don't get involved unless they need to get paperwork off you such as attested certificates and your medical. Unfortunately you just have to sit and wait until they inform you that they have your visa. It could take quite a while, especially now during Ramadam.
