Arrival in Riyadh & Moved to an Apartment | Expats Relocation Experience Part 2 (2020)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- This video is about our experience moving to Saudi Arabia - arrival in Riyadh and move to an apartment (long-term accommodation). It serves as a reference for those who are thinking and planning to relocate to Saudi Arabia. Saudi used to be one of the hardest countries to visit in the world. Therefore, people do not know much about it, especially the changes in recent years in accordance with Vision 2030 of the country.
My husband and I moved from Sydney, Australia to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the end of 2019. As of now, we have been in Saudi Arabia for 5 months (Dec 2019 to Apr 2020). I hope this sharing could be helpful to anyone unfamiliar with Saudi Arabia.
This Part 2 is about:

5:45 for water, I actually use a filter jug to make the tab water drinkable, and I change the filter from time to time, I got it from Amazon UK, but not sure if they sell it here or not
Very organized video

Hi I am moving to Riyadh in couple of days for work, could you recommend a good place to live near al olaya street?
hi, thanks for a comprehensive information. Could you give any figure about how much the accomodation and the main expenses for a month?
this depends on requirements and standards. just like staying in a hotel, there are 1 to 5 stars. the price difference is huge. it's best to check online for the specific type you want.
Let me know if you have any tips to share about Riyadh or the country! 😀
Hi, thanks for sharing information. can you please suggest which residential area is best to get located near to Center Point, King Fahd Highway. ( as my office will be there). in the budget of 40000-50K SAR. or do you suggest a flat or compound.( if any compound near by)
@@axispradeep hi, flat or compound depends on your preference/need. i guess people with a family and kids usually prefer compound. here you pay rent by quarter (each payment is for a quarter of half a year), plus a security deposit. usually, your employer will provide a list of accommodation of choice for you (an expat) to choose from. If they don't, maybe ask them?
Here are several compounds which you may want to consider (check out their websites): Al Bustan Village, Al Ghadeer Compound, Al Hamra Oasis Village, Al Malga Village, Al Nakhla, Al Reem, Al Hamra, Oasis Village, Arizona Golf Resort, California Resort, Cordoba Oasis Village, Wadi Qortuba and Yamami Residence
You should always inspect the place and make sure you like it :)
Hello !
Ill be visiting Riyadh for the first time next week .
Are there EXCHANGE OFFICES IN MALLS ?(as it happens in Dubai )
Can I easily find EXCHANGE OFFICES on the main roads ?
Thank you !!!
yes, not hard to find them
What was the rent for your apartment??? In Olaya
You didn’t mention the rent amount you pay for your apartment.
That's none of your business
Could you maybe show what your apartment looks like? X
You can pay a visit to Alfardan residence in Olaya :)
@@Haanism was this where your company gave you accommodation? Or did you find it yourself?
@@ameeranbibi52 find ourselves
@@Haanism thank you!
Don't get raped as their law is not on your side.
