NFL In Jeddah!
Posted: Wed November 29, 2006 09:57 PM UTC

Hello Jeddah,

Does anyone know if NFL games are available/televised via SAT. My wife and I are moving to Jeddah for a good job, and will be living in a compound. Not sure where the employer will place us. Any advise and feedback, will be appreciated.

Thanks

My friend is a big Baltimore fan.. We watch it at a friends house who has AFN and Espn he lives in a compound called Arabian Homes (Cierra Village).. Other compounds which I would recommend is Basateen, Hajarain, Sharbatly... It all depends on your budget, but push ur employer to have u in one of them.. Most of these compounds have Espn

Hey I have moved here from Washington DC last August... its kind of hard to catch all the games if you are working SAT-THURS. If you dont end up living in a compound you can get a Sattelite Dish installed.. you wont miss a thing!
Goodluck! this place kinda sucks btw... lolll
