Agree with Alexa.. I lived ...Agree with Alexa.. I lived in Both Jeddah and Riyadh..
If you're in a compound, the lifestyle is superb..

I'm in Jeddah now and I ...I'm in Jeddah now and I agree with Alexa & brite, Jeddah is best city in KSA in my oponion. It's all about where you will work and you'll live there.

jeddah ...spent 7 years there in Jeddah on a compound..... i travelled a lot but its a shit place and if you can avoid do so,,, drinking SID and rubbish homemade is the norm... village mentality everyone knows your business... sweet FA to do if u dont dive... in all honesty if you aint being forced to go dont ... and if u must make sure u get paid shit loads
fan_ni_sarap said
Jeddah is good ...Jeddah is a good place to live. A little bit modern compared to other cities in KSA. Not too much mutawas. If you are a diver you will love Jeddah!
Or start learning scuba diving. Alot of PADI dive shops there where you can start your open water.

John...you just did not know ...John...you just did not know the right people...i never touched sid....lol And my social life was busy as it had never before...and never been since....Like ardoeman said, it all depends on where you live...it is make or break...Western compound recommended...very, very recommended. Unless you are religious.

Jeddah shit place??? John ...Jeddah shit place??? John where did u live in Jeddah ?
johnfm15 said
lolo aye ...i lived on mura bustan in Jeddah a very western compound and had weekly access thankfully to the american consulate from 97 to 04 when things got really hairy it was time to move.... i think after 7 years i can advise this.... go only if u must or have to... otherwise blank it.... i hear this all the time about wunderbar life on compounds in saudi.... no theatre, no cinema, no booze unless u want to pay 700 sar a litre... driving is worse than here, split dining areas, everything closes for prayer... u get tossed from resturants etc....air quality in downtown jeddah is rank... they didnt use leadfree petrol when i was there... its up to u.... its not like anywhere else...if you enjoy living in each others pocket and a very limited social life its good and u will save money.... its only my opinion... thne again i think this place is ok
johnfm15 said
yes its crap ...I lived on mura bustan just of medina rd... whats good about limitations mate? whats good about Jeddah? stroll on most of the compounds are pre fabs do they still have armed guards outside the compounds?
Alexa said
John,they better have....am ...John,they better have....am planning on going back to Riyadh soon....lol
Look, Saudi id not for everyone...you either love it or hate it....it is as simple as that.
