Dhahran Travel Forum

I was wondering about the weather in Dhahran? I have applied for a position in Saudi Arabia. I've looked at different blogs, and they all say different things regarding the weather. Some say that the average temperatures in summer is around 96 degrees. others say up to 110 or 120 degrees farenheit. I just read one a few minutes ago that said it could get up to 150 degrees farenheit.

The highest recorded temperature in the world is supposed to have been 122 degrees. So I'm confused.

I am looking for nearest International airport to Al Jubail? I have to fly from Singapore.

I have a friend who is travelling to Saudi within the next 2 months probably & would like to hear of any meetings in the dharhan area where she will be living & working.
She was in touch with someone in AA over there but they have lost touch.
Any information on this would be most gratefully recieved .

Does anyone PLEASE have the contact info for any western therpists in the khobar/ dhahran area? Doesnt nessesaarily HAVE to be western but she does have to be a woman. I know there are many arab male ones around but I'd be more comfortable with a western, and a woman, since the 2 male arab ones (no offense intended to anyone) told me I should be content cleaning and cooking for my husband.....
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

I have heard about a Multiple Entry/Exit visa for the King Fahd causway which is valid for 6 months & cost 500 riyals. Does anyone have this? How & where does one get it from? If not then is there any other visa which will allow Multuple Entry/Exit on King Fahd causway?

Thanks

Will I be able to bring my German Shephard dog and do the townhouses and modules have fenced in yards? Is she safe there?

Are we safe there as Americans? Are people still leaving because of safety concerns? Are there more Saudis in the compound and how do they feel about the Americans?

How much are groceries and are there a lot of veggies and fruits and natural foods like brown rice flour and soy milk? If not can I order food by the case to be shipped to me?

Is there a library? A fitness club with exercise machines and weight machines?

Are there religious services in the compound? How tolerate would the compound be of a Buddhist?

Thanks!

We are considering a job in Dhahran. Is there a Buddhist community there?
Thanks

Hi All,
We are planning to be in Dhahran by the end of December. What is the temperature at this time of the year. When does it start getting really warm there. Secondly my husband has been offered a grade code 13, what category of grade code is it in terms of seniority.How many holidays does Aramco give its employees on the two eids.

Cheers,
Saaba

Do the inexpensive DVD players you sell play DVD's in the NTSC Format? How much are they? Brand Name = Model number? Thanks.

I´d like to make contact with an engineer who works for Saudi Aramco.
I´m considering to try a position in this company and I have many questions about living and working in SAK.
Thanks for any help.
