Hi i'm wondering about prices for either the 3 or 4 bedroom properties as I am moving soon and cannot find any information regarding pricing, much love and god bless.
Which campsites did you like best?

Thank you for this great coverage of the Red Bus Tour. Based on your experience, we're going to take the tour as well. Very well done videography - I really enjoyed it.
Thats why jews never go to Peninsula Cuz they knew the real MT Sinai
Hello, is it possible for a uss citizen to buy a house on installment for a period of 3 to 5 years and get residency after that?

You mean the annual pass covers the car entry, and atleast 2 persons in the car?
Yep, It covers the whole car at any park that charges by vehicle, and at site that charge by person it covers 4 adults (plus kids under 16 who are always free). store.usgs.gov/2024-annual-pass#:~:text=Each%20Annual%20Pass%20admits%20the,requested%20to%20verify%20pass%20ownership.

You lost me at " we are not allowed to film......" what a great start for tourism 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's a private resort, and it's their rules. There are plenty of other beaches and places in Saudi (public and private) where filming and photography is no issue. We're happy to follow the rules if it means we get to dive that wall.
But beyond the mosquito net, there is another tarp? And link of That table?
Yes, it has the mosquito net as a window, and then on the inside you can also zip up a canvas windo to completely protect yourself from the elements. Our table is the FrontRunner Stainless Steel table from FrontRunner Outfitters, and ours came with the bracket mountings needed to attach it to the Frontrunner roof rack.
Ya Allah ❤❤❤❤
It is a historic jewish place ❤

Hi where can we see the whale sharks? in Al Lith?
Yes, in Al Lith the whale sharks often come during the spring months. There is a small hotel there that arranges boat trips. Our trip was arranged by someone else, but I'm pretty sure the contact information can be found here - a-h.sa/allith/marina-2/
Most of the corals look dead ,...why is that ? I am sure there are better reefs in Yanbu, Rabigh, AL-Lith or Further North ??
The reefs in the other places you mentioned do tend to look better than the ones in Jeddah, although they've all seen more bleaching over the last years. Jeddah is close and easy for us though, so it's a great place to get away for a quick day trip.
Very insightful
Glad you think so!
I just came back from there and working on our videos about our experience there.
Great video thanks where is ur house and how did you buy it ? Is it too hot to live there ?
We're in a unique situation because the housing is rented directly through KAUST, the university where we work, and it's only available to university employees. We're not sure what the local rate for rents (or purchasing) would be outside of the university.It definitely gets hot in the summers, but everything is really well air conditioned :)
Do you have roaches and wall mold like in the American houses
Hi! I'm looking at a job at Kaust and wondered if it's worth the move from the UK, would you recommend?
We've really loved our time at KAUST - we've been here almost 9 years! It's a really unique place to live that has opened up doors for us both professionally and personally. Moving abroad away from family is a challenge, and not right for everyone, but we've found it to be a great experience.
Hellllooooo, welcome to Najran. It was nice having you there. I'm sorry that you couldn't visit the Najran market. Those children were saying, Take a pic of me, salam alikum, and how are you? Is there anyone who sees me? I enjoyed watching your video. I've been living in Najran since 1999. If you come to Saudi Arabia again, let me know because I'd love to invite your wife into my home.
Thanks! We loved our time in Najran, and would like to get back there some time!
Is this kind of housing similar for US expats working in the medical field?
We're in a unique situation because the housing is rented directly through the university where we work, and it's only available to university employees. We're not sure what the local rate for rents (or purchasing) would be outside of the university.
@@EricAndAsh Got it! Thank you!
how were you guys able to get the oppertunity to live and relocate to saudi arabia? i am thinking about relocating but am finding it impossible so far
We were fortunate to find jobs in fields we'd both been working in for quite a while. We weren't specifically looking to come to Saudi Arabia, but when the opportunity presented itself we took it.
Nice video it looks so much better after your touches you made it look like home. How much the rent for the townhouse and and do they sell it or just renting? Thank you for the great tour of your house

Which city in saudi?
We're at KAUST which is north of Jeddah.
horrible video for a review.
Sorry you thought so. It was our first impression on the tent. Now we've had it 18 months and have loved it. Anything in particular you'd like to know?
