I have 3 job offers, 1 in Jubail, 1 in Dammam, and 1 in Dhahran. I need someone to help me decide please. All 3 jobs offer similar benefits, but the one in Dhahran offers compound accom. The one in Jubail fully covers education for my two boys, but the one in Dhahran offers slightly more money. My wife and two teen boys will be coming with me. I need to hear which is the best place, specifically for the family. I heard Jubail has a lot of air pollution which I would definitely avoid. Is this air pollution really true?
Any advice would be great, thanks

Jubail is very organized town. Small and nice 70 km far from dhahran
But it's a working environment totally and it's very boring
Dhahran is much better very nice city for family With good options of Entertainment nice people
I live in dhahran all my life its very nice city
Dammam is very close to dahran 20 km far

Go for dhahran and don't think twice 👍

Private Schools/International Schools tend to be expensive. Are you planning on homeschooling your children or sending them to one of the private or international schools?

Homeschooling is definitely an option, but I was more inquiring which of the three places was more appropriate
