Hi everyone!
Just wanted to say this site has been great! I accepted my job offer with Saudi Aramco and my family and I are relocating to Dhahran and leave on 05/14!
We have taken a lot of advice from this site and can't wait to get over there! Still waiting on our housing assignment but I know we will be in the Dhahran compund.
I have a 18 month old daughter, any advice on what my wife and daughter can do in the 1st month to make friends etc.?
Thanks,
Kyle

It appears that you are travelling with your family at the same time i.e upon first arrival in KSA/Aramco? This maybe because you have a very young child, whereas I have two primary school-aged kids and thereore need to secure schooling for them first? My Relocation Advisor has informed me that I need to travel on my own first and then apply for my family visa and iqaama? Can you shed any light on this perhaps? Did you have a choice or was that what was informed to you by RA? Many thanks, Yamaaan Save |

Whether your family can come with you can also be rules of your home country and not have to do with Aramco. I do not know if that is your case, but a possiblity.

Kyle, you are arriving just before Ramadan. Have your wife contact the Women's group immediately. There may be a Welcome tea in May she can attend, there are definitely once a week meetings in May and babysitting is available at the Baker House where they meet. Their phone number should be on the phone list in your home. If not, you or she can pick one up at the Comunity Information Center (CIC) in the Al Mujamma building which you will get to know first thing.
