Hi I'm new in Jeddah, teaching english at a private institute, 43 years old northern irish male. I love sports and meeting people. I'd love to snorkel/dive, play sports, meet up with others. I'm in Al Faisayah but hoping to move as my company will pay for it. Any info on accommodation, activities etc greatly appreciated. Ta

Thanks for the replies. My company gives me a housing allowance of 400 US dollars a month. I'm not sure how much apartment this will buy. I don't mind sharing with someone. Compounds are expensive no?
