I am in the process of considering employment with Aramco. I was informed that as a female I would not be enled to bring my family.

Couple questions:
What does it cost monthly to live relatively comfortably in Dhahran, could 1 person live off $1000 to $1500 a month? Is it easy to support myself there and my family in the US while still saving money and having money for semi-annual family vacation?
last question, since I am actually married, if I get pregnant while on repat by my husband, will I get fired or will I be able to have the baby and then return the baby to my husband?

Hi,
maybe someone knowledgeable can respond to you. I don't know if you and your family are open to the possibility of living in Bahrain, but here are a couple of links to other threads that might be of interest to you, or maybe you could get in touch with others who posted here:

I think you could easily live on $1000 per month (after rent and internet is paid)...probably even a lot less. It all depends on how much you like to eat out and go shopping. If you want to save money, then you can live on very little here.
