Saudi Arabia: Driving a full-size van in KSA:
Ford Expeditions and Suburbans are the choice vehicles over here. You'll be good with that. :)
Global Expat Forum: This was just sent to my email account-:
I agree. These sites are often soured by shills who have nothing else to do but ruin it for everyone else.
Saudi Arabia: Saudi employer threat:
IT's been brought to my attention that "saudization" is what's at the root of the employment issues for expatriates in Saudi Arabia. I don't have an opinion either way, personally.
The companies over here can only do what the contract allows; so, be sure to look closely at what loopholes your company might intend to exercise to get "their money".
Two important things before leaving this country: 1) If your credit cad is linked to anything over here (e.g., OSN satellite, vehicle, etc), shut it down and make sure there isn't a grace period that allows a company to charge you for something they think you owe. 2) Pull the money from your bank account and shut it down as soon as possible.
Just make sure the US consulate knows you're over here--and where you live. Enroll in the STEP program ASAP. Peace...
