Hey littlemart,

good day.

as far as I know finding accommodation in dammam is easy. Also, cost of living in Saudi is cheap. Don't worry. For dress code, if you're not a female, I think you can wear anything. Past time, well not much, do sport? For me I find going to gym as past time. Its ok to walk around for familiarization but as hobby, I don't think there is much to see. Hope this gives you a little bit of information.

Anyway, you have a good company so don't worry...

Godbless...
