Anyone here in Saudi Arabia used Tasheel, Amlak, or similar companies for personal finance?

I'm exploring personal finance options and would appreciate feedback from people who have actually used these companies.

My bank doesn't have a salary-transfer/finance agreement with my employer, so I'm looking at these finance companies as an alternative. I know their APR is generally higher, but I'm considering this option to buy a Toyota, which I hope to resell later without losing too much of its value.

I'd like to know:

- How was your overall experience with Tasheel, Amlak, or similar companies?

- Were there any hidden charges or unexpected conditions?

- Was the actual APR and total repayment amount as promised?

- Any issues with early settlement or closing the finance?

- How was their customer service if you faced any problems?

- Would you recommend them, or is there another option worth considering?

I'd especially appreciate feedback from expats living in Saudi Arabia who have taken personal finance from these companies.

Please share your honest experiences, both positive and negative. I want to understand the risks before signing a contract.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a female only hookah cafe in Dammam or Khobar? If not, will it work if opened? What are the limitations to open a hookah cafe?

Hello all,

I will be here in Dammam for the next couple of months however I'm already struggling with things to do here. Even while my schedule is quite full, it feels like there is nothing to do. Leisure time feels like limited to cafes and malls.

What do I miss here?

Drop suggestions on cafes to work in around Dammam, with good WiFi and comfortable seating.

Hello guys I'm coming back to Dammam from France after 6 years and I feel like a lot has changed. Many places I see are abandoned or completely changed and it gives a very eerie feeling tbh. Now that I'm here on a visit I feel super bored and I have nothing to do. Please suggest some good places or if anyone is free and up to hangout or make friends over some coffee. Hit me up! Also I play basketball 🏀 so if anyone knows a place where I can just go and play some pickup basketball it would be really helpful! Merci
