After a 3 bedroom furnished detached Villa, preferabley with garden or own space out back. No kids so no school required. Would like shops, pool(s), restaurants, gym but not worried about tennis or any other sports. Doctors ? Buses to town, beach and limo service.

Internet access and satellite would be good (try to keep up with the footie, cricket and golf :) ).

Also both avid golfers so any advice on golf courses, fees etc also welcome

All advice very welcome

Thanks....

Have you tried the Murabustan compounds? They used to be good although it's been a while since I was in there. Or renting a villa? It's a fraction of the prices they charge in the UAE.

If it was purely $$$, then there would be no need for the torture. Does the torture bit equate to more $$$? I don't think so.

fois gras...mmmm

PS - I've eaten horse...very tasty

By the way...I heard Saudi was a bit dodgy.
