===Move to Nablus and Saudi Arabia=== The al-Banna family's commercial experience, and the money they had managed to take with them, meant they could re-establish themselves, Melman writes.<ref name=Melman1987p49/> Their orange groves were gone, now part of the new state of Israel. The family moved to [[Nablus]] in the [[West Bank]], then under Jordanian control.<ref name=Melman1987p46/> In 1955, Abu Nidal graduated from high school, joined the [[Ba'ath Party|Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party]],<ref name=Hudson1999p100/> and began a degree in engineering at [[Cairo University]], but he left after two years without a degree.<ref>{{harvnb|Melman|1987|p=50}}</ref> In 1960, he made his way to Saudi Arabia, where he established himself as a painter and electrician, and worked as a casual laborer for [[Saudi Aramco|Aramco]].<ref>{{harvnb|Melman|1987|p=50}}; {{harvnb|Seale|1992|p=64}}</ref> His brother told Melman that Abu Nidal would return to Nablus from Saudi Arabia every year to visit his mother. It was during one such visit in 1962 that he met his wife, whose family had also fled Jaffa. Their marriage produced a son and two daughters.<ref>{{harvnb|Melman|1987|p=51}}</ref>
