Arriving in the not too distant future

Congratulations on your new job!

1). There are furniture stores here, IKEA - near DHA; Several on DHA road going into Khobar, including Saudi styles which are large pieces and a contemporary furniture store.

There are many 220V appliances and a very limited number of 110/120V small appliances. If your house does not have 220V plugs, you can call maintenance and have them install you a couple. The houses come with a stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. You supply everything else. Washer and dryers can be rented.

3). There are schools (elementary and Jr High) in 4 Aramco compounds. There are International Schools Group KSA schools also, these can be looked at and applied to on their websites. Dhahran High School is one of them outside DHA. There are others.

Application to work at the Aramco schools can be done after your wife arrives in the country. She would be considered a casual employee and all benefits would come through you.

2). there is an Art Group on each compound, and I am sure Rakah will be forming their own as population increases and people submit the request to Recreation.
There are lists of activity groups under each discussion group (DHA, ABQ, RT) on the forum, please look for them.

4). There are ATM's on every compound.

Aramco schools can only hire people with teaching certificates from North America. ISG, the international school out of Dhahran, can hire people with other certificates. I do know Aramco schools are always looking for subs, though, and I believe your wife could sub even with another certificate, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
