Does anyone know location of Pearl? I want to go check it out myself and see what the reality is in terms of expected opening. It is taking forever. We are misplaced in Radium and very uncomfortable. The problem is no one from housing will give approximate relocation date or a range. If it will be in December then I am better off just taking the rental allowance and skipping out on Aramco schools.

I have heard that Aramco has dropped pearl project as they were not fulfilling Aramco requirements, is it true?

I've heard the same Aramco cancelled pearl contract due to a problem with the design of sewage and potable water and their certificate from the government. noting confirmed from housing yet will keep you posted since we hear a confirmation.

Aramco has NOT dropped the Pearl Compound. There is a delay, but that is related to the delay in getting the government permit.

People have started moving there; a couple of families I know from Radium have been relocated.
Some of the residential buildings are still under construction, and as they are finished, they move people over. I understand that everything that was available is now full.
I was at Housing yesterday and they said they should be getting two more buildings finished in about 3 weeks.

I can add:
The "commissary" is open. It has basics on the shelves (milk, bread, some dairy, chickens for roasting, rice and some pasta, dish washing-up liquid, garbage bags, shampoo and soap, etc).
The fitness centre is open, the games room is open, and other facilities in the same building (beauty parlour, indoor pool) are still in progress.
The outdoor pool looks mostly completed.
Currently, the rubbish protocol seems to be leaving bagged rubbish outside one's door twice daily for collection. I hope that we get a proper bin soon.

I just want to confirm when you are all referring to 'Pearl' are you referring to 'Al Rawabi Pearl Complex' as shown here: http://www.rightcompound./Al-Rawabi-Pearl-Complex-189
behind the Eastern Cement Tower, King Fahd Road Al Rawabi district , Al Khobar, P.O.Box 20730
I'd like to understand everyone is discussing this and get personal experiences from anyone.
Thank you

Pearl is a leased compound by Aramco. It is not available for people on RAA, it is assigned Aramco housing.
