Living in saudi arabia

Because we want our expatriate employees to feel at home in Saudi Arabia, we offer a variety of housing opportunities to ensure a smooth transition – from comfortable homes in company-operated communities to rental allowances for housing in the local community.

Saudi Aramco-operated communities

We have supported thousands of expatriate employees and families relocating to Saudi Arabia over the last 40 years. We want our employees to feel at home and offer a variety of comfortable and family-focused housing services to ensure a smooth transition.

We operate four gated communities, each a welcoming neighborhood with people from all over the world. All four communities have their own style, with a unique appearance, character and amenities.
