I am looking for a summer teaching job in Saudi. I really don't care which the city nor am I concerned about the salary. I am just looking to try out the Middle East.

I have been in China for the last seven years and have built up a decent life, but I am a bit bored. I think it would be interesting to try a slightly different culture without having to give up on China.

Any advice about summer programs that provide housing? Which websites, besides Dave's should I check out? Do I have to worry about the visa if I am just doing two or three months?

Thanks.

There are no "summer jobs" in KSA. Usually 12 months is the minimum. Many contracts are for 24 months.

Rare here, but try the UAE. Some unis there hire for 3 month summer courses.

Summer in Saudi? You must be joking! Anyone who can afford it leaves the country for cooler climes the minute the school year ends. In any case, getting a Saudi visa is expensive and troublesome, so companies do not issue them for temporary stays.
