Why don't you ask to the Company to provide you a multi-entry visa (costs only 500 SAR) and you can travel everywhere you wish, with passport and/or Iqama. Much convenient as expat, you're not bonded to the ground (OK, depends also of some other... ... Read More

Dear Amy, you're too nice, I wish I would be as cautious as you see me, but the reality is quite different (if you only really know me)... OK, most of the time I like to spent in front of laptop seeing movies or sniffing around or listening music, ... Read More

It's my mistake Amy, because I wasn't clear enough, it was only a joke, it was obvious you're not planning anything... Your 1st post was clear enough, as far as I remember. On the other hand, even if we don't have such an intense social life, we ... Read More

Wow, guys, like the saying "expensive perfumes in small bottles", you just concentrate some wise lessons in few lines (I know everybody's polite when it's about our hobbies and especially on forums ;)), but I'm still stuck to the long distance ... Read More

Good afternoon guys, may I interfere, as passionate (but quite beginner) in photography ? Not really agree with @TheLegendLeads: the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is an all around lens with capabilities for portrait and wildlife, ... Read More
