Hank Hill was in Saudi Arabia for several years, approximately around four years according to the timeline discussed by fans and creators of the "King of the Hill" revival series. In the show, Hank worked as the assistant manager in charge of Arabian propane and propane accessories while living in Saudi Arabia, specifically in Dhahran, where there is a community of Saudi Aramco overseas workers. This period abroad occurs between the end of the original series and the beginning of the revival series, where Hank and Peggy return to Arlen, Texas, after their time overseas. The creators have noted that the timeline jump is about 8 years in total, with only a part of that spent in Saudi Arabia, fitting with Bobby's age and the show's real-time progression.
