Saudi Arabia - Al Khafji City

Bigfoot,

Welcome to Khafji (P*****N)

Khafji is a very silent place about a 350 km from Bahrain, 300 km from Al-khobar, 290 km from Dammam, & 150 km from Jubail.

Kuwait border is just a 20 km away from Khafji. Most of the individuals who are getting a huge salary like you are living in Kuwait (Mangaf/ Fahaheel which is just about 70-90 km from Khafji)

Living cost in Khafji is relatively low.

Spacious Villas (3BHK)are available from 1800 to 2500 SR.

There is an Indian school in Khafji apart from KFC & Pizza Hut.

Regards

Ratso, thanks for the advice.

It seems that you know of Khafji. If so let me know a bit about it

I found responses from Alexa extremely helpful and if Alexa does not know of answers to any questions posted on this site, Alexa suggests other sites.

Any advice and help appreciated.

I think that the theme for Qatarliving is a great one and all who joined it do help as much as they can and make it what it is. such information worths itsweight in gols, which is massive.

Many thanks

Bigfoot

u should not have accepted the offer without going there and checking the place...

for myself, being a non-practicing muslim, I would never live in any parts of KSA even if they have tripled my salary here in qatar.

good luck...

Sometime ago you drop a line to my request for info on living in Khafji, KSA.

I am off to Khafji in the next couple of weeks

Are you aware of any blog like the Qatarliving where I can log on and look at current info for Expat living in that part of the KSA, I like know whether I should only bring Dollar or Rials or both, favourable exchange rate in the UK or KSA

I am going to stay in Khafji for a little while until my wife joins me then we will look at the current situation and then may go to live in Kuwait City

Try to contact someone working in Khafji etc etc

Many thanks

Bigfoot

isn't a lot in South Kuwait.

I worked in the neutral zone for a time and you would probably be better off in Khafji.

Mina Zoor (the name may have changed) was the biggest town in the neutral zone. I use "biggest" loosely.

Thank you very much for all your very helpful comments.

I think that you all are quite right in saying that AL Khafji is a small place and that my wife and kids will be bored to death.

The plan is to live in Kuwait near the border to Alkhafji, in say places like . Messillah, Salwa, Al Zahra and Mishref.

Any one has any information about these places or know of some one.  Any info about accomodation in these area, may be site addresses for a few Estate Agents etc

I grant it that it would be a tad more expensive but at least my family would be a bit more comfortable.

I very much to look forwrad to hearing from you all

Many thanks

Bigfoot

I think that maybe because its a small place thats why the salary is so good cos there's nothing there! I know that to get into Saudi hospitals as a nurse is a pain in the neck! I'm not sure that a nurses salary will be too good there either.....

hello,

I think it's good offer but you have to find the social life there how it will look like..for ur familly, kids... if u r happy go for it..

good luck

Some people r just wayyyyyy too lucky lol. GOod luck mate.

 wow its a huge salary bigfoot if ur wife is a nurse she can apply in knf khafji national hospital im not there yet but my old employer is.....

abu khalid is the owner and mishari a son who run the hospital salary is small but saudi living is quite good all prices ae reasonable,it will help her to ease a boredom of waiting u in the house alone

honesty is the best policy

to the Iraqi border.

It's in the Kuwait/Saudi neutral zone. Many of the supplies for Iraq in the Iran war went in through Khafji and up through Kuwait to Iraq

is unstable. Being close to both kuwaiti & iraqi borders, i saw in a special at aljazeera once that "arab" insurgents cross to iraq through there. Most of its inhabitants are Bedouins. so, i'm guessing less interference with committee of virtue (mutaween). Unless you find a closed westerner compound . My advice don't go

Should ask the Qatar army what it's like.

It was the site of their biggest victory over the Iraqis

I know it is a strict country

I am there to work, live a modest life with my wife save some money and set ourselves up back where we live

 I wonder in your opinion how much would we spend to have a comfortable life there every month?  Are finding rented accomodation as difficut as that in Doha? any info is greatly apprciated

many thanks

Bigfoot

Its an excellent salary, the money would be an incentive to sacrifice....

for this amount i will go now and travel every weekend to bahrain

It is a dead place. thats why they are offering you such a huge amount.

No one likes to stay for long in Khafji.

Alexa,

I have not an Iphone yet.  But I am going to get one and I will let you know to have it unlocked.

Many thanks for your advice.  I will be meeting up with the client sometime next week to move it forward.  The job is with an engineering consultancy.

I woder if you could let me know wethere there are any compounds at or nearby  Khafi city?  Do you know or anyone who can give me some advice about finding accomodation there? any info about rented accomodation, any photos of the area.

Many thanks

Bigfoot

The salary is good, but saudi law is very strict regarding a lot of things. accomodation is very cheap compared to qatar. not as expensive as qatar in other stuff as well.

God in one month ,goooo

65000 how you will count them

really if you can get the same in Qatar will be ok,but still worth going and trying not much live ,but its ok

   its too good go there and what is ur job:?  if u want to unlock ur iphone pm me or call 5125244 .
