| Check with your employer since some routinely provide a card upon the employee's arrival. |

| once you are through immigration and customs, have passed the glass doors, take a right turn, ask the guy at the coffeeshop to insert a sim card in your phone, pay him a couple of dollars and if you can count to ten the world is your oyster... |

| I got mine before I had an iqama. I was wondering if I'd have to show them any identification but they didn't ask for anything. |

A nice bottle of single malt.
This site isn't blocked in Saudi anymore. I wonder how long that'll last. |
