There were threads here but they may have been deleted. I taught at HBCC for two years after many years teaching at KFUPM Main Campus. I have now retired,
Try inputting "Hafr Al Batin" in the SEARCH functiuon.
What do you want to know ?

scotty, is it true that Hafr Al-Batin is a hell and is near the end of the world?

In Hafr Al Batin the travelling time to Dammam, Riyadh, Kuwait and Baghdad is about 5 hours by road. I never did make it to Baghdad.
I had been told that Khafji was the end of the world. I noticed as I was heading tro Hafr that it is 150 km BEYOND Khafji.
As for it being like unto the Nether Regions visited by Dante I cannot comment |

The place is not great but the college is well run, as one would expect from KFUPM, the parent body of Hafr Al Batin Community and Dammam Community College.
It is not suitable for teachers who wish to come to KSA with families. For that - head for KFUPM in Dhahran or DCC in Dammam.
Nor can it be recommended to those of a nervous disposition. |
