fotos&butterflies, When I wrote "With regard to your second question, Katelol, that is none of your business," I was responding to Katelol's question about whether I am moving out anytime soon. Katelol's question has since been deleted. As to your ... Read More

With regard to the problem of safety hazards at the Sahara hotel, that problem is not mine to solve because I do not own the Sahara hotel. Nor am I the employer of the women whose safety and welfare is affected and potentially jeopardized. With ... Read More

Why are you giving me directives, Katelol? You sound like a clone of your employer. I'm not interested in your approach to coping with substandard accommodations and I am not interested in playing games. If you choose to challenge yourself by ... Read More

The poster opened with a question and invited responses. I replied by sharing experiences and making observations. Just because those experiences and observations don't mirror Katelol's, doesn't mean they aren't legitimate. If they happened, I am ... Read More

I must say this also (especially to women): The male workers at the SAHARA ACCOMMODATION are intrusive. Several teachers have spoken of the ways in which the workers follow the women into their rooms. In my case, one came into my room unannounced ... Read More
AETG by mscaffiene
Hi everyone, I'm new to this page and urgently need some help. I've been offered a job by AETG teaching at Princess Nora University in Riyadh. I've not read very good things about this company and was wondering if any one working with them just now ...
I talked with one of the teachers who has worked for AETG for over two years. She said that the reason the company is telling candidates now to apply for a visit visa is because the application process is shorter. It will take longer to fulfill ... Read More

When I say that the abaya police make an issue about wearing it every time you eave your room, I mean they don't even want you to walk around in the halls or the lobby (which is small also) unless you have it on. In terms of doing things like ... Read More

Another thing I should mention: There is an abaya police at the accommodation called the Sahara. These are women teachers who tell you to wear an abaya every time you leave your room and so on. If you live in a compound, that won't be the case. In ... Read More

One other thing: Some of the teachers are living in another accommodation, which has a name something like Star of Malaga. Those teachers seem to be happier. But I understand their rooms are small as well. Perhaps you could ask the company that made ... Read More

Oh, I forgot to mention: the rooms at the accommodation, which is called Sahara, have no sunlight. Well, the corner rooms have window with some sun. But most of the rooms have either no sun or a window that opens onto a concrete wall. So, ask ... Read More

I am at the accommodation for one of the main companies employing teachers for King Saud. The accommodation is basically a hotel, except that the rooms have a kitchen and a living room. The rooms are small. There is no gym, not even one close by. ... Read More
