I hope to be moving to al jubail in about four months. What can u tell me, if anything about how things work, good and bad, my wife is on the fence about coming. Need to be able to put some of her fears to rest

Best advice here is to research the many blogs and forums describing life in the Magik Kingdom!  99% of any questions you could think of have been answered ad nauseum on the web.  Check out all the forum categories here on EB and then checkout Expatarrivals.  They have an extensive write-up on "arriving" here and what it takes to settle in, covering everything from customs & courtesies to salary negotiations, healthcare, schools and accommodations.  EA is a finite resource, finite in that it doesn't seem to be updated very often, but the information is quite extensive and very helpful.  It was where I started and then branched out to EB and Internations.

Google is your friend.  Do your research and then get on EB and ask questions.  For what it's worth, my wife was hesitant, too.  Now she can't wait to arrive.

Good luck,

Rigger
