ARabian AMerican oil CO

They are based on the East (Gulf) coast of Saudi. Now entirely Saudi-owned I believe, but used to be (still may be) one of the highest payers in these parts (that's in general, not specifically for aircrew)

I'm not sure but I think they operate mainly "biz-jet" equipment out of Dahran or their own fields.

Accomodation is likely to be in their own "mini-city" at Dahran which, in the days of American joint-ownership, used to be a "place apart" in Saudi (women driving, pig in the shops etc) but has gotten rather more Saudi-ised nowadays. Always used to be regarded as one of the best places to be for an Expat in Saudi. Due to their being the source of most of the country's income, they do not usualy suffer from the chronic "cash shortages" that have been a problem in the country at times.

Any Saudi-Aramco pilots out there reading who can give more specific info?
