Hello all  I was wondering if you could offer any advice/tips for a friend who will be moving to Dammam. She will be living in a compound (husband is British military) and she has a baby. Is there anyone here who has moved there with their children and/or brought their family who can share their experiences?
My only experience in the ME is Cairo when I was single without the kiddos, and I know that is apples to oranges  This is not an optional move for her so if it's a "don't go!" then perhaps some advice on "how to deal"
Much appreciated. |

Inside is OK if you have a nice residence.
Outside is hot, dirty/dusty and women must cover up with abaya.
Dammam is close to Bharain......bout an hour or less by car....thats the escape. |

It's all in the name. A dam good place to be. One sought after by all expats in Saudi.

| By "British military" I assume that you are talking about BAE. If so the compound will have enerything required but BOREDOM will be a great enemy ! |
