True, but...?

I guess I was expecting the dry heat of a desert like Palo Verde? Humidity high in UAE...due to being right on Arabian Gulf? Feels more like South Texas.

Has anyone got any knowledge and experience of working at the Barakah Station and what is the standard of the living accommodation provided.
Many thanks

Ok. Currently if you are a male RP technician on a short contract you get a fairly decent (new paint on old building) room...double bed, desk, fridge, microwave, shower. Nothing fancy, but everything clean. As I understand it, there will be housekeeping & laundry service...although perhaps not every day?

The ladies are in newer (rumored nicer) buildings on other side of cafeteria.

Cafeteria is pretty basic, but plenty of food & choices.
