o all,
I am strating this thread to draw some FRESH info regarding the landing procedure in DMM. The forum has a wealth of information that daes back 2 or 3 months, and people gave excellent info... however, i would appreciate it if the new hires (who landed recently) could chime in with their experiences and advices. My questions are: 1. Would I get any information from ASC regarding the process of landing? 2. Do I get home address before or after I land? 3. the ARAMCO office at the airport, is it before or after I leave immigration? 4. Like everyone else, we will be moving with 10 boxes and 2-3 bags... would the ARAMCO car accommodate us and the boxes or things follow? 5. I am also intersted in knowing about what happens on Saay? Who takes me to office, what do we do? How about KIds and school?
Any information is much appreciated.

1. Not really 2. Usually after, you will be taken to your new home from the airport. Once in awhile new hires in ABQ, RT, UDH are taken to DHA and placed in the hotel to go through orientation first, but not always. 3. It is after immigration 4. Aramco is very used to people arriving with that amount of luggage. They will take care of getting you and all your luggage to your destination. 5. You are usually met by a co-worker at the airport or the next morning. You will usually have one day to settle in and then be taken to work by a co-worker. Each compound has different ways to settle the family in. If you email me and tell me which compound you are going to be in, I will get you a contact person. vpainter29@yahoo.comDHA has a welcoming committee and the Women's Group also does Welcoming here.

Good questions and informative answers by vpainter (as usuall) I heard that SA prefer Wednesday or Thursday for flying day; however my relocation adv is okay if I fly on Sunday from Calgary to Dammam. Is this true that orientation is held only on Sunday and no other days if so then what would happen with my orientation as I will arrive on Monday in kingdom, do I have to wait untill next Sunday for orientation? Please advise soonest as I have to book flight. Thanks

Good Question, I'm sorry I don't have the answer to that one. I can tell you that people arrive every day of the week. Arriving on a Wed or Thurs means its the weekend and you have days to rest. Even arriving during the week, you will get a day of rest.

New orientation have been held on Sunday and Wednesday for the individuals that have been arriving in the last few weeks. Your coordinator (relocator) can find out which orientations you will be placed in if you ask, as they can contact the 2 individuals at Dhahran which do the new hiring orientation, subject to that your coordinator truly wishes to get the information and assist you, as I have heard some terrible stories from new hire concerning there coordinator.
