which you cant live in it unless you are working in aramco company 
Oasis Compound is known to be very upmarket and the prices reflect it.
Oasis Gardens was very nice once upon a time (we have been here about 7 years) but now the villas are desperately in need of demolishing, maintenance is non existant and everything has gone downhill.聽 Even management tell you that their hands are tied and that all they can do is act as a buffer when you complain......
Security wise I think both compounds are very well protected but then Oasis Compound was one of those hit in the one of the attacks a couple of years ago.

yeah thas when they sealed the whole compound with blast resistant walls and a freggin anti aircraft gun at each entry!! yah its safe alright!!!
Both compounds have excellent security and you can go between the 2 compounds through a path alongside the soccer field. Ensure you are in the compound with the shops, tennis courts and pool. It聮s beautiful, however Aramco bets it hands down.
Welcome and Good luck
Oasis Gardens is actually made up of 4 compounds in one (Al Hada, Al Bustan, Al Zahra and Stemco).聽 These 4 are all connected and you can freely go between them.聽 However, the Oasis Compound is totally separate and in fact on a different road altogether.
Not sure on the actual rent for a 4 bedroom or even the availability but on Oasis Gardens you would be looking around 135 000 per year for one of the three bed prefabricated homes (not brick).
here are there prices for anyone interested:

I'm currently just in the process of moving out to Al Kobar with my husband and 2 children. Obviously I am nervous and trying to research as much as I can. I saw your blog from last year and I wondered if you moved out there and if so what is it like. It's such a change I don't want to feel trapped. Any info would be fab

becouse of my husband job, we are considering the offer of living in Al Khobar. It is very difficult for me in my womanhood topic, I have many doubts and fears. I am also a Catholic person, which makes it subject not to go to Church on Sundays. My husband said that would be home in Oasis Gardens, for me there are many unknown issues, like if I go out alone with my son almost 2 years, if there are places to take him to spend an afternoon and if there are more Latins in this sector .
I hope someone can help me with my doubts.
Greetings to all.
We r on d process of moving to alkobar & looking for a compound/village...I have 3 kids...I'm wondering if there's Filipino family on this compound?TiA
Oasis Compound is actually four smaller componds in one (Oasis, Al Zahra, Stemco and Al Hada) and people are leaving there monthly, as the owners have spent nothing at all on staff wages or maintenance of the facilities, including villa electrics!聽 The security that people refer to in the above posts is no longer in place (the main entrance next to Al Rushaid is now closed) and can be described as poor at best.
I lived there for two years - typical 2 bed villa on Al Zahra is SAR 150k) - and moved out a year ago to a MUCH, MUCH, better villa on Al Rushaid, where you can get top level accomodation for SAR 170k - 220k for 2 bed villas.聽 It is much cheaper if you live off-compound but safety should always be considered.聽 Europa compound is approx. SAR130k for a 2 bed villa, but is lifeless.
Note Rushaid, Oasis and Europa are expat compounds but whilst Rushaid is mostly American/British/Western European, Oasis and Europa have a mixed resident base (Chinese, expat Arab and Westerners but less and less each month).
I hope the above helps!
Looking for some compound/villa/flat that r accessible to Philippine school since I'm from Philippines...
Still waiting for other feedback since will b transferring there by 2015...Really need your help everyone...
TIA
I have recently shifted to khober, can u guys help me out with some gud hang out plcs, sheesha joints, or nythin fun.
Thanx
If you have young kids on oasis there are no longer nursery or pre school as these closed down when the illegal people got kicked out, even though some residents have tried to get it up and running again, it won't work because people have the attitude of I'm not volunteering even if their kids were to go to nursery/ pre school, there are school s for older kids and one on the compound called Bisak.
There are. 4 pools, gyms, bowling alley, some kids places I think, trips and coffee morning etc, but all quiet now until after summer as everyone with kids usually leaves for the summer.
You also have access to the oasis resorts across the main road, which has pool. Gyms, cafe, restaurants , ice rink etc etc
I live on oasis so feel free to ask me questions

I have been working in KSA for about 2 years now mainly up north past Jubail I have heard some nice stories about Khobar and am going back to KSA now in a few weeks I am bringing my wife and son(4) with me. I have been offered a position with an American company , Does anyone know does Fluor reside here in any of these compounds as I need to see where my family will be accommodated. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
I just moved here a couple days ago. I don't like how isolated my "compound" is from...everything. It's next to a rather abandoned Las Dunas compound. My housing allowance, IIRC, is around 55,000 -- I know, not much compared to the big companies. But I don't really need much. A 1B1BH with access to a decent gym, retail & supermarkets, and... yeah. I guess my greatest difficulty is that I'm a single American female.
Anyway, what do you think? I don't want to be farther north than Las Dunas, as my school is actually south.
Thank you for any advice!
We are also planning to bring our cat with us, found out that Canary Village does not permit pets in the compound so that might be a deal breaker but If it's really a good place to live then we would consider leaving our Cat with the in-laws for the time being.
Any other compounds out there good for a family with children? Accept pets?
Any help/advice/input would be great and appreciated! Thanks!
I read that there are several Oasis compunds.
I would like to get more information about the Oasis Abdulaziz. Is this well entretained? beacause I read that they are hands tied... is it for all of them?
What nationalities of expats are living there? are they manliy couples or families with children?
Do you have any idea of the prices they are practicing nowdays?
Is it secure? Was specifically the Oasis Abdulaziz the one attacked in 2004?
Would you have any other compounds to recommend me?
Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate.
Maybe you should know : Try to group all that you have or want to say in one post please so as to avoid multiple posting on the Forum

Thank you
Maximilien
