Dear All,
I got an offer for a work in Najran and I am leaving in a few days as soon as I got the Visa.

I would love to know more about the life there, places i might find inserting to visit.

I am going single for a few months before I shall be able to invite the family so I don't want to feel bad a lone.

is the electricity there 127 Volt or 220 ?
what is the best cell network company?
is there wifi available all the town or i have to subscribe with an ADSL provider?
is it cheap to use my cell phone to go online via the GSM provider?

I shall apreciate your reply

thank you in advance

It's a very quiet and extremely dull place. Be careful crossing the main road it's a death trap. There's a couple of archaeological sites and a dusty park but that's about all.

@ahmedkamal!
Welcome to EB and KSA!
Najran is a small city and weather is extreme. STC is the best cellular network to be used there...
