I have been to Saudi a few time but this is the first time as an epact. I was wondering what would be somethings that you would do different knowing what you know now?

I live in the states what phone should I bring and what cell services is the best.

How much cash should I bring for 2 weeks before I start work?

What banks are the best?

If you have been to Saudi earlier, you should know these. Mobiles are open here, you can bring any - provided they are open for any SIM.  There are 3 operators to choose from for all kind of services - STC, Mobily & Zain.

As for cash for 2 weeks, depends on your personal life style and if accommodation is not included then at least a min of 6500 - 7500 SAR. If accommodation is provided then all what you will spend on is food & laundry which can be covered for 150 SAR / day max.

Thank you.  My company is providing living quarters until I get into a compound. They told me to bring enough sar to last for 2 weeks. I it is just when you travel and you get to a new place almost always you pack stuff that you should not because it is everywhere and then the stuff that you should have packed but didn't because it is everywhere here is nowhere to be found there. Will i teouble with 110 electronic items?

HRGuru

Not much, most places have both 110 and 220 better to check first
