Hi,
Take a complete info of the place you will be working in.
If you are referring to Qurayyat (Gurayat) city its in northern part of Saudi Arabia a few kilometers away from Jordan border but far away from Jeddah.
And if its Hai Alqurrayat, its already inside Jeddah.
Both locations have MOH hospitals :)

Hello
Am living in Mecca but I haven't heard about any district called al Qaryat...
Anyways if ur sure that it's in Mecca then it's good
Btw. The distance between Mecca and jeddah is only 100 kms which can be covered within an hour or so.
It isn't that far as there r people doing there ups and downs daily to jeddah from Mecca.
Hope this info is useful to you
Take care and smile.

Gd morning  and thanks for your reply

Cheers

Dear Rorsoa,

I live in makkah since 3 years till now, life in makkah is calm and relaxing away of the crouds, you are near to Haram, whenever you need to go for Omarah or pray just get a taxi to there easily. the negative side of makkah is that there are no much places to hang out or to socialize, no cafes, no sport activities, fancy restaurants are few. So I go to Jeddah every weekend to refresh my mind. That's it.

No cafes? Uhh that's a lie

Hey rareshine, if you had the minimum level of respect, you wouldn't have called me liar..
