o,
Can you please tell frequency and timings for Aramco transportation from DHA to Abquiq? I am joining Southern Project Team based in Abquiq and living in DHA.
How much time it takes from DHA to ABQ ?
Thanks

Actually posting exact frequency and timings in a public forum is not a good thing. They run throughout the day and start early in the morning for the employees and throughout the day for other residents.
The commute between DHA and ABQ is about 1 hour 20 mins. But does fluctuate due to traffic and your pickup time in the bus route on camp. Best time driving between the two is 45 mins. Traffic can make it an hour and a half.
Interesting that you are in reverse of most: living in DHA working in ABQ.

If you are working with PMT (Project Management Team) then you typically are provided an Aramco vehicle. You'll have to go through the Aramco Vehicle Safety training before they issue you a car. It took me about 2 month before I could be scheduled for the class (but that was 2 years ago, may be longer now??).
If you’re a Project Engineer (not a cost engineer or scheduler), then you typically won't spend much time in Abqaiq. I live in DHA and my official office is in ABQ, but I spend only a couple days a month in ABQ. Typically I am at the Design Contractor's office in Khobar. They typically don't like to see the Project Engineers in the office. They want them at site or at the design contractor’s office.

Hi,
Some of us here on the forum have not been given housing in Dhahran although they were confirmed for housing with the reason that DH camp is full. If you don't mind me asking, how did you secure housing in DH despite this and wile you're working in AQ?
