I am a US expat almost 5 years with Aramco and always on Bachelor Status. I have always been in Riyadh, where I currently have permanent housing. I am on a +/- six month business assignment working in Dhahran. During this summer's break from school, my wife and 9 yr old daughter are planning to visit me here and I hope to convince them that living in Dhahran is a viable option, as I have the option of relocating to Dhahran (work location) in the near future.
I've heard of house sitting for families away for the summer. How do I find out about opportunities to do this? This would be ideal for the 2-4 weeks they will be here, much better than hotel where I currently stay, and an opportunity to see what Dhahran Camp is like.
I may sound a little clueless, but realize that I am here in KSA, without my family, living in Riyadh where virtually no Aramcon expats live, so I have NO idea how any of the housing issues work here in Dhahran.
I searched the forum and found no information.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Talk to your coworkers and ask them if they know anyone who needs house sitting during that time.
