Al Khafji, Saudi Aarbia. What do you know?
Right, my chances of getting to Qatar have taken another set back, as in it may be still on, but maybe not.
So;
I'm looking around for other expat jobs.
I'll refrain from all the "is this contract any good melarkey" for now but.....
Has anyone any experience of Al Khafji, Saudi Arabia?
I'm applying for a position there via an agency.
I just want to know about the place for now please.

I'll take you up on that if I may.
Call me Maninibat!
Thanks everyone.
I bet you I get that job.
Seeing as it is the most undesireable one I've applied for.
Call me Maninibat!
think I would have done that. Leaving the family unattended in Saudi during the week even in Dammam.
I think it will be a tough place for a family. I had my friend there in Khafji and he put up his family in Dammam. Weeken he comes to dammam and goes back to Khafji.
is close to the Kuwait border and featured during the first Gulf War (Battle of Khafji).
It was taken back from the Iraqis by a combined arab force including a lot (if not mainly) Qataris with American logistical and air support.
This link shows you its location and notes about the event.

I believe (but am not certain) that it was also the main port for delivery of support to Iraq during the Iriq Iran conflict.
For anyone interested, this link gives probably the best report relative to the battle.

Will do.
Thanks for the help.
I've had a look and I know what you mean.
Call me Maninibat!
I will of course do all the research but if I can get first hand info, all the better.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers Buddy.

Me Me Me!
Help me out and I'll promise to be funny.
Call me Maninibat!
Cheers stealth.
The job is in a fabrication facility, so I will be there a lot, rather than traveling about.
Do you know if there is any infrastructure?
I will be wanting to take the family ASAP.
I appreciate this BTW.
Call me Maninibat!
Its a barren place though the pay you may get there will be good. Its closer to Kuwait I think.
