Where should I setup a bank account in Najran?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Najran what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Najran, should be aware that the official language is Arabic, although English is widely spoken in business and by younger generations. They should also know that the cost of living can be quite low, especially compared to Western countries, but this can vary depending on lifestyle and personal preferences. Expats should understand that Saudi Arabia is a deeply conservative country with strict laws based on Islamic principles. This includes strict dress codes, especially for women, and prohibitions on alcohol and pork. Healthcare in Saudi Arabia is of a high standard, but it is recommended that expats have comprehensive health insurance. The climate in Najran is desert-like, with extremely hot summers and mild winters, which could be a significant adjustment for some people. Expats should also be aware that Saudi Arabia has strict laws regarding residency and foreigners are required to have a sponsor to live in the country. This could be an employer or a spouse who is a Saudi national. Finally, while Najran is generally safe, it is located near the border with Yemen, which has been the site of conflict in recent years. Therefore, it's important for expats to stay informed about the security situation," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Najran, Saudi Arabia.
