I think that some basketball courts also can be used as volleyball courts, right? I think of we can get enough people to sign up, we could ask to rent the court or something. Read More

Has Anyone Ever worked for IGIT (International Group for Training) ? by WanderMan
I just got a job offer from this company, and its rather good. But I'd really like to find some one else who worked for them and hear about their experience. I have worked in Saudi Arabia before. And I know how bad some of the companies can be. ...

Do not work for IGIT. They will lure you into coming here with false promises. But once you are here, they will not fully reimburse you for your annual ticket. They may send you to another city than the one they promised, and the list goes on. Read More

MERS in Jeddah by arm5263
Hi all, I am in the process of relocating to JEddah from US and this MERS thingie is making me nervous. I have three young kids under the age of 8 joining me. Should I be concerned? The mortality rate of 30% is quite high... How is expat community ...

The point is this viral infection will not prevent me from going back to KSA.That's your own personal choice and I totally respect that. For me, if I had children, I wouldn't risk it. I'd wait until the virus thing dies down and then for sure I'd ... Read More

Do you even know what downplaying it means? I never said they were 'sitting on their hands' doing nothing. It surely does not mean that they aren't ' working 24/7' as you said. It is not unusual for a govt to 'downplay' a bad situation. Like what ... Read More

In my opinion, I'd definitely reconsider. They still don't have a cure for the virus. Also, Jeddah especially has tons of people coming all over the world but people that come from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh and a lot of them aren't very clean. ... Read More
