My husband and I are considering employment in Riyadh. Since we have children, going into a furnished place is pretty important to us as we don't want to land in wall-to-wall concrete.

Does anyone know of particular institutions that provide furnished housing?

I suppose an alternative could be to use the housing allowance to rent a furnished flat but I'm guessing the allowance wouldn't be enough to cover a three bedroom.

Any advice? TIA!

For clarification, both of you are seeking teaching positions? If so, I suggest focusing on employers that hire both male and female teachers; you and your husband would be on the same academic calendar. That said, what are your nationalities and qualifications (i.e., degree levels & majors, years of experience, TEFL qualification)? That would determine which employers have openings that both you and your husband qualify for. Additionally, be aware the Saudi government does not accept qualifications that entailed any online coursework/study.

You can take an empty apartment then you can get furniture from Haraj Souq.
