Original post
Bonjour a toutes et tous!!!!! On me propose un poste basé a djeddah en arabie saoudite! Entre les on-dit et les conseils du consulat! Est ce vraiment un coupe gorge d occidentaux ou est ce vivable si on respecte les consignes de securite. Me conseillez vous d y aller?
si l effort est trop grand pour la faiblesse humaine
de pardonner les maux qui nous viennent d autrui
epargnes toi au moins les tourments de la haine
et a defaut du pardon , laisse venir l oubli
Salut;
je te conseille de partir et tu vas voir!!!!
la revolution viendra sous le chant des sirenes ....oueh.....Miss some joints, Menthol tea ..... waves and reagge....
tu travailles dans le pétrole ???
si cela ne te gene pas de vivre avec des gardes du corps, dans un quartier fortifié, en regardant tous les jours sous ta voiture, en n'ayant pas le droit de visiter le celebrissime sanctuaire de la mecque tout proche, vas-y !!! 🤪

Ben
pourquoi visiter la mecque?? c'est un lieu pour prier et non touristique. tu te vois aller en short avec ton appareil photo au milieu des milliers personnes qui sont en train de prier?? je ne comprends pas ce que tu voudrai visiter dans cet endroit?
pour le reste, j'ai deja repondu en prive;)
pour le reste, j'ai deja repondu en prive;)
Forco,
ton site que tu propres n'est pas du tout une reference!
ce qui est ecrit: ''Les femmes doivent impérativement être accompagnées de leur époux ou d'un parent masculin. Si ce n'est pas le cas, son parrain doit venir la récupérer à l'aéroport. Mais là encore, il y a des restrictions sur le fait qu'un homme et une femme, sans liens de parenté, voyagent dans le même véhicule. '' C'EST ARCHI FAUX!!
Lorsque j'y vivais, je retournais tres souvent voir ma famille au Canada et je revenais toute seule en Arabie. mon mari m'attendait a la sortie de l'aeroport. on ne me posait aucune question, du moment que tes papiers et ton visa sont en regle!
pour la voiture, la je ne sais pas qui a inventé une telle stupidite mais...ca depasse l'exageration! si les exaptries voyaient ca, ils riraient bien! tu montes avec qui tu veux, y a jamais personne qui va te demander quoique ce soit! enfin....je n;ai jamais entendu ce genre de chose la-bas. faut vraiment avoir une tete bizarre pour qu'on t'arrete! et encore....
aaaaaaah les fausses idees...

J' ai l' impression que tu as vite lu le site. Dans ton cas c' est normal que tu n' aies pas eu de problèmes puisque vous appliquiez ce qui était demandé (un homme à l' accueil). Idem pour la voiture, il est écrit qu' il y a des restrictions, pas que c' est interdit. Lis bien avant de t' emporter.

pourquoi visiter la mecque?? c'est un lieu pour prier et non touristique.
Je trouve stupide de dire ça. Si on écoute ce que tu dis on ne devrait donc plus visiter de cathédrales et d' églises car ce sont des lieux pour prier. Réalises-tu la valeur historique de La Mecque ? Pas la peine d' être musulman pour vouloir aller visiter cet endroit.

Forco, tu peux penser que c'est stupide. voici ce que j'ai ecris a une personne qui me disait la meme chose:
ce que tu dois savoir, c'est que les facons de pratiquer sont differentes: dans l'eglise, tu rentres avec tes chaussures, tu peux t'assoir, papoter, chanter etc....
dans une mosquee: les musulmans qui y entrent doivent faire les ablutions. (laver des parties de ton corps). tu les feraient toi? tu enleverai ensuite tes chaussures? et pendant la priere, que ferai-tu dedans? tu as deja vu a quoi ressemblait la mecque? c'est un lieu pour le pelerinage. les musulmans doivent respecter eux-meme certaines regles (vetements etc...) pourras-tu faire autant? sans te mentionner que prendre des photos est interdit.
tu vois que ce n'est pas comparable. entrer dans une eglise ne demande pas tout ca.
pour l'accueil a l'aeroport. ca pouvait etre une femme qui m'attendrait a la sortie. encore mieux, un taxi!! alors il est ou l'accueil de l'homme ou du parain! tu y as vecu en arabie? moi je reponds selon mon experience. et si quelqu'un a besoin de clarifier quoique ce soit, je peux renseigner avec plaisir.
ps: y a des gens ici a Dubai qui veulent juste aller visiter Paris et la tour Eiffel et qui ne peuvent pas. on leur refuse le visa. ce sont des gens ordinaires, comme toi et moi, qui voyagent en famille. si tu lis les journaux en ce moment ici, tu verras comment le consulat de France est pointé du doigt!

Ton discours est maintenant différent. D' abord tu répondais à Aristomakos que tu ne comprends pas ce qu' on a envie de visiter à La mecque au niveau touristique (alors que la valeur historique du lieu présente un attrait) et maintenant tu dis que ce n' est pas possible au niveau "technique" (règles à respecter...). Bref, deux choses différentes.

Ca n' a aucun rapport avec la discussion en cours. S' ils n' ont pas de visa ce n' est pas pour une question religieuse comme nous pour La mecque !

Ma demie soeur et son mari y ont passé 2 ans(ça passe vite)... Elle ne s'est pas plainte plus que ça, enfin je crois qu'elle a dû prendre ça pour des vacances ! Je crois que quand on vit dans un pays on remarque toujours qu'il y a un certain décalage entre ce qui se lit, se dit et la réalité! Pour les occidentaux c'est pas aussi rigide, mais biensûr il y a des consignes à respecter quand même, c'est évident.
J'ai entendu souvent parler de l'Arabie Saoudite, j'ai jamais entendu dire que c'était un coupe gorge pour occidentaux...
Choucarde
2 choses differentes = meme resultat quand meme:)
pour le visa.
justement, si c'est pas religieux, donc ca ne devrait pas etre autant difficile! et pourtant...tu as beau te plier aux exigences, et tu ne l'aura quand meme pas. enfin, c'est un autre debat.
j'espere que notre ami se plaira a Djeddah et qu'il fera surtout le bon choix.

Merci tout d abord nounou28 de ta reponse en poste privé, et aux autres de me dire ce qu ils en pense.Le site de l ambassade de france est tres effrayant c est vrai, mais c est justement pour avoir un autre son de cloche que j ai pose la question sur se site.Le meme site deconseille d aller dans certaines partie du cambodge ou j ai pu voir une charmante et adorable population.Je ne peux que constater que les avis divergent.En fait j ai peut etre eu un poste pour une compagnie aerienne, je suis steward, qui ferait des vols bases soit a djeddah soit a dubai.Je n es pas le choix et je dois prendre ce que l' on me donne, à savoir que le premier poste, le depucelage en quelques sortes est a djeddah en general.Avec des destinations comme kaboul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!J avoue que l aventure me tente mais je dois dire que c es un peu effrayant.en tout cas je crois comprendre que ce n est pas un pays comme les autres.

heu non, ce n'est pas possible pour un non musulman d'aller à la mecque!
et pour les églises, n'importe qui peut y entrer de n'importe quelle façon en faisant à peu près ce que l'on veut, pas à la mosquée!!!! il faut se couvrir pour y entrer et enlever ses chaussures.
Sandra
Je savais tout ça. Tu n' as pas bien dû lire les messages.
Merci quand même.
Pas la peine d' être musulman pour vouloir aller visiter cet endroit.

Oui j' ai écrit qu' il est possible de vouloir aller visiter La mecque sans être musulman, tout en sachant que ce n' est pas possible. Je n' ai pas écrit "pas la peine d' être musulman pour pouvoir aller visiter cet endroit". Vouloir et pouvoir sont des mots différents, tu sais. 😉

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
