The company I'm working for is pushing HARD to get a big contract in Rabigh and if we get it I would be hoping to travel there. Has anyone here ever spent time in Rabigh? Comments? Tips?

Thanks!

Rabigh is small town between jeddah and al-madenah
it's around 200KM away from jeddah you can get back to jeddah on weekend as there is no many places to go over there even i think there is no international resturant

you can go and check it yourself, it's 160 k.m from Jeddah

I spent 8 months there. If you are lucky enough to get put into accomodation in the Aramco compound its good. Compound has everything you need with a really nice private beach. Indoor/Outdoor pool. Good gym. Full size soccer pitch. There's a Japanese restaurant in the compound which was fantastic! Sushi night once a month as well! The town itself is ok. Would avoid going into it unless necessary. Although there is a few nice food outlets along the main strip.

Presume you are going there with Petro Rabigh?

Actually the compound only for staff of Petro Rabigh,
but if you are having jobs in petrorabigh , most probably you will allow stay there.
