Arrival · for individuals and families

Landed Sunday.
Settled by Thursday.

A move is six work streams pretending to be one decision. Manara runs them as one programme, in the right order, with one person answerable for all of it.

What we know that costs people money

Almost every family arrives believing the compound decision is about lifestyle. It is about the commute, and the commute is the one thing nobody can judge from abroad. A villa that looks twelve minutes from the school on a map is thirty-five minutes at half past seven in the morning, five days a week, for the next three years.

So we measured it. Manara holds 1,824 measured drive times between 47 Riyadh compounds and 35 verified destinations: 13 international schools and 22 workplaces and business districts. Not estimates, and not straight-line distances. Measured, between confirmed coordinates, and rebuilt as the city changes.

That is why our shortlists are short. We can rule a compound out before you have spent a Saturday driving to it.

Who you will meet

Landing is not one problem. It is a home, your own footing, and somewhere that starts to feel like a place rather than a posting.
