Hi,

As a contractor I am expected to find my own accomodation. My contract states location Abqaiq. As I will be working for NITI - new training organisation sponsored by Aramco just want to know how much does accommodation cost?

Single room - sharing
1 bedroom flat
2 bedroom flat

Also, whats the procedure for family to come over. Currently my Working status is single. How long does it take to bring family over.

Currently i have 1 years contract. They said its renewable every year. Is there any contractors who have been working for a long time.

Sorry for the questions. This is probably the biggest decision of my life.

Your help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know other contractors?? How are they finding it?

How long would it take? Your probably based at dhahran?

It will take about 45 mins to an hour depending on where you live in Khobar and where your office is in ABQ.

Thanks Faisal.
