Did you use the search? Jubail has been mentioned often for years.

I think that the Search function is officially and permanently on the blink...

I was looking for feedback on lbachelor living conditions in Al Rezayat compound in Jubail. I've googled up a few pictures. It looks a bit run down compared to some of the other compounds in Jubail. |

I use it regularly and it almost always works for me. You can even use Google and it brings up threads from here.
One thing is that if you use more than one word for the search, be sure to use the "search for all terms" option.

Most compounds for TEFL teachers are very run down compared to the luxurious accommodations provided for those of more prestigious occupations. |

I've tried the search function, but can't find any information...Anyone have any information about the accomodations provided to teachers who work for Booz Allen ? Those who are hired to teach Saudi naval cadets.... |

Specific housing information for employers is often hard to come up with since this is a situation that changes with budgets and maintenance or a lack thereof...

So far there has been no useful information on the compound in question. I thought for sure there might be one of our comrads living there who could enlighten us....Inshallah, |

What do you want? Jubail is well mixed - the Asians do the work. The whites and saudis complain about doing too much work, whilst doing jack schitt. It's the future of the nation.
You can live on a compound - glorified portakabins with pool, kind of like a cheap USA motel - or on Saudi Street - seriously beautiful locations. |

Industrial (residential) Jubail is easily the most beautiful and best place to live in Saudi Arabia minus the usual frivolous and mind altering distractions. |
