moving to KSA

17 years ago

Hello!
I received a job offer to teach English in a technical college in Yanbu. Hope to start on Sept 1st. My husband and two kids will be coming along. To date my future employer have not mentioned anything about the kind of accommodation available to us - whether it is within the college's compound or with the locals. Should I keep on asking or is it the way they handle things?
On top of that, will it be easy for my husband to get a job there? We have two kids, age 9 and 4. My younger daughter is a special child - celebral palsy. Will there be any centres or hospitals that I can send my daughter for therapy and treatment?
What about cost of living there? Is Yanbu a modern city? I hope cars are cheap as I am promised 600SR car allowance. Can someone assist me..........
