Best cities to live in Saudi Arabia

Post new topic

Most people believe small cities in KSA should be avoided when choosing a place to live, but they have their upsides: housing is far cheaper, traffic is non existent, people on the ground are friendlier and salaries are the same (or sometimes higher with rural location bonus). For some people life in smaller cities is just too boring, but if you're coming to KSA to save money then why live in an expensive, crowded, unfriendly big city? Give the rural cities a chance at least.

Al-Jubayl is also best  industrial city to live..........

nothing wrong with Dammam, it's an hour away from Bahrain.

Dammam is quite peaceful city, but you can't compare with Jeddah.

eControl

agree Dammam cannot be compared with Jeddah but its v. close distance to Bahrain is v. big advantages to who like changing his mode from time to time.

Jubail is an environmentally toxic and polluted pit of a place to live.

Dammam is disorganized and dirty and the industrial city for Khobar which is the business executive and mostly expat place to live. Yes, Dammam is a little cheaper but it's a crowded dump. Roads go all over the place as opposed to Khobar which was designed by a Westerner so things are done in a typical organized 90 degree angle streets. Live in Khobar visit Dammam if that appeals to you.

Al Khobar is best.
