Moving to Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia

Dear All,

I was initailly in Singapore so a bit skeptical about life in Saudi.

Re: Moving to Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia

hello jayesh welcome to khobar .i think u will not regret your decision to move to khobar .but when compared to singapore life is restricted here. but if you take multiple reexit entry visa u find life equal to singapore in beharain and u can go there in weekends. ksa is dry but beharain is open in all aspects including multiplex where indian movies are screened.compound life is good but u should see what your motive is >
to save money or for enjoyment.if it is enjoyment saudi is a no no but to save money this is the best place in world

hi rubina there is akerala restaurant which serves north indian roti biryani and curries
if it is for daily basis for a single female food is cheaper and tastier .all single men will go for refular dinner there only it will not cost more than 25 riyals for parotha and curry or biryani what i gave in my prvious answer is for weekend outings .but if it is in daily routine most o restaurants are run by kearalites .and u can get roti and n.i dishes which will be around 20 -40 sr max
