Need Help – Stuck in Saudi Arabia After Being Scammed

I don’t even know if anyone will read this, but I’m writing this with a bit of hope.

I’m from South Asia. Like many others, I came to Saudi Arabia dreaming of a better life. Unfortunately, the person who brought me here deceived me. He promised me a job, but after I arrived, there was no job at all.

I stayed without work for more than 6 months. Later, I finally got my iqama, but now it’s about to expire in less than a month.

You might ask why I didn’t take legal action. The honest answer is, the legal system and support from my home country isn’t strong enough to help in situations like this. Also, I came here by taking loans, so I was already under a lot of pressure.

Right now, I do have a small job, but they won’t keep me without a valid iqama. So I’m in a very difficult situation.

If this post reaches someone kind enough to help, I would be truly grateful. I’m willing to work as a house driver, helper, or assist with any kind of household tasks. I’m hardworking, honest, and ready to learn anything.

I also enjoy meaningful conversations. I’m interested in topics like geopolitics, space, science, and learning new things.

If anyone is willing, I can share my CV. Even if you can’t offer a job, any advice or guidance would mean a lot to me.

I know many people have similar stories, and maybe mine is just one of them. But I still wanted to try.

Thank you for reading.

Hangout?

Are there any weekly gatherings or community programs open to everyone? I'm 35M (Indian) staying in Dammam away from family after a very long time. I'm bored out of my mind on weekends, and all of my friends are with their families here. I'm also available for handouts.

Hello everyone!

I'm a single female moving to Dammam. Don't tell me about how boring it is, I already know and I'm hoping it's temporary.

Please do let me know the fun activities to do (I'm quite adventurous).

Let me know if there's cycling anywhere and badminton.

I'd love to meet up and get to know people too.

Thanks in advance!
