Good fer you. If the housing is at the RT compound and the numbers are right,then it's all good, My HBP did me in.

It's the gig of a lifetime for a TEFLer if'n you can get it!

except that you have to live a somewhat restricted lifestyle....no alcohol etc....

but yeah, for a TEFLer the infrastructure set up is pretty good. and there is a beach at RT compound.....hmmmm take a windsurfer or jetski...!

Dear It's Scary,

No alcohol, eh? Well, congratulations on being probably the ONLY expat (never mind Saudis) who was alcohol-free in Saudi.
