Does anyone know about this school, or the city? I know that it's new this year, in a brand-new city development located on the Red Sea. I searched the forum, and only found one reference to it, before it opened. It's a GEMS school.

Is the city frontier land, or does it already have infrastructure and businesses opening? The school is experiencing quick growth, and predicting significantly more to come, but what could a family reasonably expect in terms of lifestyle and "creature comforts"?

I know there are restrictions that come with living in KSA, (no alcohol, women driving/having to cover, religious freedom) but saw mention somewhere that some of those restrictions may be relaxed in KAEC because they are encouraging international business and tourism there...is that the case, or not really?
