Where should I setup a bank account in Tabuk?

We asked expats in Tabuk what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Tabuk should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand that Saudi Arabia is a deeply conservative country with strict laws based on Islamic principles. This includes dress codes, especially for women, and restrictions on alcohol and pork consumption. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Tabuk can be high, particularly for housing and imported goods. However, local food and services can be quite affordable. Healthcare in Saudi Arabia is generally of a high standard, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate in Tabuk is desert-like, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Language can be a barrier as Arabic is the official language, although English is widely spoken in business and by younger generations. Saudi Arabia has strict immigration laws, so it's important to ensure that all paperwork is in order before moving. Public transportation is not widely used in Tabuk, so expats often choose to drive. However, traffic can be heavy and driving standards vary. Finally, while Saudi Arabia is making efforts to open up to tourism and foreign residents, it's important for expats to respect local customs and traditions," said a member in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
