Client is offering full payment of travel and accommodation with a per diem payment of US$ 100 per day. You would be based in Jeddah which is the second largest city in Saudi after Riyadh. Jeddah boasts a population of 3.4 Million people and is the principle gateway to Mecca. With a thousand years of trading behind it and home to some of the worlds most successful merchants and business people, it is natural that Jeddah is the commercial capital of Saudi. In addition, the city’s geographical location places it at the heart of the region covered by the Middle East and North Africa, with all their capitals within 2 hours flying distance – defining Jeddah as the commercial centre of the Middle East.

Jeddah has received the millions of pilgrims of different ethnicities and backgrounds for over a thousand years, many of whom remained and became residents of the city; therefore it is much more ethnically diverse than most Saudi cities and it’s culture more eclectic in nature. With the oil boom hundreds of thousands of working immigrants and foreign workers have flocked to the city making it very liberal – NB despite it’s liberal attitudes non-Muslims are NOT allowed to celebrate their religions openly.

 

My client is willing to offer initial 3 months contracts to ensure you and they are happy; our expectations are that you could spend 12 months + on project in Saudi.

 

Contract, Jeddah, negotiable between R280 per hour and R330 per hour
