Thousands of Saudi and non-Saudi workers will be employed at Rabigh CIP and PETRORabigh. Saudi nationals working for Rabigh CIP are likely to be from the Jiddah Metropolitan Region, which has a population of five million. Rabigh CIP is located within commuting distance from Jiddah. Non-Saudi workers will be from Asia and Africa and a range of countries, thus resulting in English language communication in the operation.
