If anyone could provide some solid info on the following:

1) working hours
2) teaching hours
3) paid leave holidays during the academic year
4) paid summer leave
5) KAU HR - are they any good (in Saudi terms)?
6) multi exit/re-entry visa possible?

that would be great. Thanks.

I think in this case, no news is good news. With all due respect to all my fellow posters and colleagues, I think when a person feels very strongly about something that has happened to them in a very negative way, that person is motivated to write about the experience in places like Daves. I think there are many people who teach in KSA (like I do) who simply have an average experience. Some lows and few highs. I have had some challenges in working over here, but for the most part, the pay is greater than my frustration level. The funny part is with each year I work (and save more money), my frustration level keeps getting adjusted.
