Al
Khobar Featured Hotels
Al Khobar, a large city in
the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, is bustling with large scale development
activities. It forms 'The Triplet Cities' together with Dhahran and Dammam
and has a combined population of over 2 million. Among the important cities
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and now Al-Khobar
or simply Khobar. Jobs in Khobar are now gaining attention of the professionals
willing to move to Saudi Arabia who have been only looking for options
in Riyadh and Dammam until now.
 Khobar
has been a small port on the Arabian Gulf in the past but transformed into
an industrial hub with the discovery of oil. It has today become a center
for export-import activity and a commercial hub of the Eastern Province
housing the leading banks and hotels of the country. The city offers good
healthcare services with various private and government hospitals extending
medical services to the people. It is a tourist destination with numerous
tourist spots like kilometers long beaches, beautiful gardens, amusement
halls, cornices, picnic spots, etc. for providing recreation centers to
the locals. Even the education sector is flourishing with more than 100
private and public schools in the city. This throws light on the prospering
economy of the city and the subsequent creation of jobs in Khobar also
known as Khobur in some areas.
Khobur may not be a very
popular destination for migrant workers but is sought after by Saudis and
locals in the Middle East. With government's initiative of Saudization
i.e. employment of native workers into the private sector, efforts are
made to train and educate Saudis in skill specific areas. This is aimed
at not only reducing dependence on foreign help but will also help the
country utilize its manpower in a better way. Khobur boasts of modern malls
and awesome eating joints extending hangout places for the residents. It
is overall a great place to live in Saudi Arabia with decent infrastructure
and recreation facilities that are growing further. Thus, with plenty of
jobs in Khobur and a relaxing lifestyle, it has become a nearly ideal career
destination for many.
Khobur is divided into 4-
Khobar, Subekha, Thuqba and Aqrabia with first 3 as commercial areas and
the last one home to nearly 50% of the city's population. All its sectors
from healthcare to finance to hospitality to education to tourism are apparently
blossoming attracting well trained and qualified professionals to the city.
Saudi Arabia jobs pay handsomely along with a relaxing lifestyle but one
may need to make some compromises in liberty. It is not a very modern country
since it is just an emerging economy dominated by Islamic rule but is gradually
coming out of its conservative setup. Jobs in Middle East generally offer
a rewarding experience as tax-free salaries with all basic facilities paid
by the employer leaves huge savings with the professionals. Those applying
for jobs in top management particularly prefer working in Middle East since
employers in the region pay at least 3 times of what expats get in their
native lands.
Middle East jobs can be applied
for through newspapers, however, it is believed that only 25% of the vacant
positions are advertised outside the company. Most of the candidates are
hired via personal references and this is why networking has become an
important tool for those willing to work in the region. If one has good
personal contacts with those already working in a particular city, industry
or company, then the process of getting absorbed gets much simpler. One
can join online expat forums and communities to expand their network.
