Hello Lovely People!
I just got an offer to work as a Contractor Comissioning Engineer for the Sadara Project in Jubail. It is a 1 year contract.
They are offering what i consider a good salary, tax free. Room and board, and it is with this last things I would love your input. I've been told I would be provided with room in a compound, so far not really sure which one, but I have read about something called Al Jude 2 (from which I haven't really found much info other than the name), I am intreagued as how the life in a compound is regarding the following:
1) Well, the rooms of course.
2) The internet connection. This is a biggy for me, as I spent much of my free time online and would need a more than decent connection. Also, how are the restriction laws in KSA? (streaming, downloading, social media etc)
3) The gym and/or sports facilities. Is there one, how good is it.
4) I am an avid longboarder, do you know of anyone like me or have seen anyone skating? Are there any restrictions?
5) And very important as well, when it comes to the food... if its included in my package... how does it work? a per diam or they have a restaurant?
Also, I've been told it is easy to go to Bahrain or Qatar on the off days, has anyone done this? Any thoughts?
I understand its quite a long post, but i have been reading and could not find any specific answers to my questions. I would really really appreciate any input.
Thanks a lot!
