    first of all let me tell u that there is no Al Haram area in Riyadh.May be it is near hara area.if you can give company name, i may help you better.

    Answers:

    1-hai al wazarat area (hara) is densely populated with expatriates.The rent will be min. 20-22k per year.Payable 6 months in advance.other areas are shimesi,batha.
    2-Yes you can bring but all that should be in luggage and not in hand carry.
    3-Yes you can bring but all that should be in luggage and not in hand carry.
    4-Are you coming on business visa or job visa? Whatever case your sponsor will take care about any extension if required.
    5-Yes occupation on visa can be changed easily.Your sponsor will take care.Anyhow from india you get your highest degree attested by saudi embassy in india.occupation change on visa is purely based on degree attestation.Original degree is required.
    6-dont take taxi driven by saudi,many other nationalities like pakistani and bangladeshi will be available.so,look for them.standard charge is around sar.80.if on sharing basis you may pay less.Anyhow,ask for your companny to arrange pickup from airport.
    Never handover any legal documents to anyone except company personnel.Identify them by checking there iqama(residence permit) where company name will be written in arabic.Try to learn the name of u r co. in arabic.
    7-your passport will be checked for valid entry visa.then finger print..then eye scan.waiting time will be four to six hours depending on situation.when u approach counters a saudi police will arrange ques based on new arrivals etc.you line up in new arrivals.they dont know english so he will be calling "jadeed" fr new arrivals.
    8-Taxis are not based on meters.A chart is placed at taxi stand giving u the information of fares fr different places.Use taxis of pakistani or bangladeshi only.
    9-All electronics will be checked at normal security scan.you can bring phones with camera no problem.

    Take care.Wish u a safe and happy journey.
