Hi, I will be living in Abqaiq and Workingin Dhahran and will be reaching there in Sept first week. 1) Since I will be travelling everyday from Abqaiq to Dhahran and back, I would effective have 8 hour days + 2-3 hours for daily commute. How do employees get compensated for spending these 2-3 hours everyday communiting compared to their colleagues who got into the local communities? 2) As we are expecting, what are the facilities at abqaiq clinic/hospital for pregnancy? Do they have fully equipped maternity ward with scanners and delivery facilities or do we need to make a trip to main hospital for routine checkups? Thanks,

For (1), it is true. 12 hours work day without any additional compensation. For (2), Abqaiq has all kinds of facilities, but I am not about to answer your specific questions.

Oh thats a bummer, work life balance goes out of the window in that case. Hopefully the bus service gets better with time.
Also, I have read from the forums that new hires can rent a car as soon as they get there and they dont have to wait for the iqama? Does this apply for only Dhahran camp or this could be done at Abqaiq camp as well?
Also are Golf carts for inside Abqaiq Camp booked via the intranet? Are they easy to get booked or well in demand?
Thanks for your help Earthsci

Golf carts are privately owned. Golf course has some that they rent for playing golf.
