Hi all,

I should be moving to KSA after EID holidays - Inshallah- and i just wanted some information from expats who live there.

I will be working at King Khalid University. I wanted to know, decent places to live. I am a single 24 year old male from the UK.

I have a UK drivers license so i wanted to drive, potentially.
Places to go eat, or just generally socialise?

Any information on the place would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
