Hi all, currently in 2nd round interviews for a position in Dammam. We have a 14-year old daughter, an 11-year old son and a dog. We have spent 7-years in Dubai and the rest of the time in Europe.


My questions:

  1. Does anyone have experience living with a teenage daughter in Dammam/Khobar area? Is it improving?
  2. Is it really difficult to bring a dog into the country (I am reading that it can take very long)?
  3. We are padel tennis players, is this growing in popularity like in Dubai?


Thanks in advance!

We are moving with our teenager son, so would be interested to find as well, what they can do, is there a reasonable group of expat kids to hang out with? We are Europeans. Annemarie
