I'm starting work in Ryiadh for 3 months next week and would like some info on where I should look for accom and what I should and shouldn't do!.

Going to be working for ARAMCO in IT dept so that's as much as I know!.

Should I go for an hotel ( they willpay!) or is there a compound where most people live?

Drinking?... Smoking?... allthat stuff.

anyone throw me a bone i'd be grateful!.

I also only know ARAMCO on east coast and not in Riyadh. There is no drinking. Aramco has their own compound. You need to reread your contract as you would have signed for all of this.

Aramco have their offices in Riyadh too and I am sure they must have a compound for their staff?
