Hello BalaVijay Welcome to Indusladies! Yes, there are lots of Indian, many families from Tamil Nadu, residing in Khobar :-D. I lived there for a short period of 5 months before moving to nearby city. Not sure, if I will be able to give you details of finding a flat . Guess your Husband who is already there, can easily look for it with help of his collegues . All the best! Hope you have a smooth relocation :thumbsup.

Hi Ranjani! Nice to have known you.. I was in Khobar for a couple of years but now moved to dammam..There are n number of pre schools & day cares in Khobar. No need to worry at all.. Regarding the job, you can easily get school teaching job, but I'm not sure about the colleges, since there are not many Indian colleges here.. I've heard Annamalai University classes are held in Khobar..May be you can try like that!
Hello All, I am from Chennai and glad to be a member of this site. My husband and I will be moving to Khobar in few months. I would like to clarify a few things. 1. Is compound living safer/better than apartment? What will be the approximate rent of a single bedroom house in a compound? Is there any specific area where tamilians/south indians live? 2. What will be the monthly cost of living for two? 3. What are the entertainment options nearby? 4. Are there agents available for house hunting? 5. Are women allowed to go out alone to nearby supermarkets/shops? 6. Is abaya compulsory in all places? How about head scarf? 7. Are apartments available with furnishing ( TV, washing machine, furnished kitchen,etc)? Are all kitchen appliances available in nearby malls? Is there anything specific which we would require to carry with us from India? Looking forward to your help on this Cheers, Nithya
