A word to the wise. If you are thinking about teaching in Saudi Arabia please keep in mind that it is very, very unlikely you will be given compound accommodation.
You will most likely be placed in a rented housing block with other teachers. It is boring, it is isolating and it is just plain depressing!!! The apartments are sparsely furnished and are not secure in the least. If you are of an uneasy disposition, I really think that this is not the ideal country for you. ESL schools and colleges in KSA really do not have the faintest idea about western social living and human contact. If you are not offered compound accommodation then refuse to teach here! The schools can more than afford compound living for their staff, but they would rather pinch the pennies and see teachers hop a plane in the middle of the night due to shear boredom.
