I joined expat.com on 12 March 2022.
The weather is really nice. Love the coffee shops here! The mountains. Cheaper than other cities in the country. Easy to rent and to buy a car. Safe.
The way the people drive. Not so many good and different restaurants. Just a few and poor variety. No alcohol allowed, not even for personal consumption. No public transport you need a car.
I was born and I lived in BA until I moved to KSA.
BA is amazing you have many things to do, great night life, public transportation to everywhere.
Insecurity, you cannot use your phone in the street.
