Hey everybody im James, im  really considering working in the middle east, and I could really do with peoples help.

im just wondering what it is like for an expat to work in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, i.e. what's it like on a daily basis, salary's, and also packages for expats, and other general information would be very helpful.

thank you in advance if you do read/answer

Hi James,

Welcome to expat-blog!

May be you can find some more information about what you are looking for on the Saudi Arabia forum. :)

Have you already get an employment in an Saudi Arabian hospital in?

Thank you,

David.

well it depends on the hospital. Usually the good ones employ Europeans or american doctors on top of their other staff.

The best places here I would recommend for you to work at are Any of the specialty hospitals, Kinf Fahad hospital in Riyadh, and the Aramco hospital in Dahran (has the best compound and a lot of expats).

I wouldn't know about salary since I don't know what is your field, or years of experience (even if I did I can only estimate).

Housing is most likely on them (they would most likely have their own housing, which is where you can get to interact with other expats or Saudis). Follow the law outside of the compound walls and you will be fine ( we don't care much about the small stuff), or have a well connected friend that can get you out of trouble (from here on in known as Wastah).

of course there would be healthcare.

Get some kind of VPN program or site so you can access pornography, gambling, or region specific websites.

I hope this doesn't discourage you. I only gave you general things, but they tend to vary depending on the situation.

good luck
