With these cosmopolitan contacts, and his excellent grasp of English, Al-Temyat has long been talked about as the first Saudi to make a real go of it in European football.
In the run up to the World Cup, the player was courted by Italian clubs Parma and Brescia, but seemed most likely to join Roda JC.
The Dutch club's technical director, Wim Vrosch, believes the player could bring many assets to his club.
"He's a real number ten, who sees things others don't. He's got pace and can score goals.
"He's basically very flexible too. It's not about the money for him, he's already got plenty of that, he would be here to learn, and be willing to learn.
"We would also expect to make some money back from any deal, through marketing, TV-rights and tournaments in Saudi Arabia. You could compare it to the Shinji Ono deal that Feyenoord brokered last season."
Al-Temyat will hope that he will follow in the Japanese international's footsteps, rather than those of international team-mate Sami Al-Jaber, who failed to make any impact at English club Wolves.
