Peace everybody.

My husband and I would like to move to Saudi Arabia and live there. We want to live in God's land.

I gather we cannot just visit as tourists. So we want to find jobs and work there.

Unfortunately we do not speak Arabic. I only speak English. I have experience in administration and sales and customer service, mainly within healthcare.My husband speaks English and Korean. He has experience in administration and translation (between Korean and English) and teaching English (but doesn't have TESOL/CERTA).

Any advice on getting a job out there?

We both studied BSc Neuroscience at UCL in London, UK.

We would like to live in Makkah so we are close to the Kabba, but are also wondering if other cities are more relaxed. We both grew up in the West so Makkah would be an adjustment probably. I wear a headscarf anyway and never learnt to drive so that kind of helps haha.

Thanks for your time, and God bless.

Peace.
