Re: Single young guy heading to Riyadh
Strange how this topic has taken a turn to exposing just how boring or unsatisfying Riyadh life actually is.
Initially posts were positive, now taking a negative turn from posters who originally had said it was good. I suppose the usual patriotism kicked in.
To be honest the $6500 a month on offer to me is possibly not enough to make me go.
If I do head over I'll mention here though.
Cheers for all replies.

Re: Single young guy heading to Riyadh
ive heard ppl in their compounds have bbqs and little parties etc, hopefully this is hte case. i dont have to find a compound as my company will be sorting it.
is there a bit of a coffee shop crowd in places, hanging around in these places would be ok

Re: Single young guy heading to Riyadh
How easy it is to get into the social scene depends on where you live and who you work for (ie. are there plenty of other westerners in the company to introduce you to the delights of Riyadh).
Expat women ... plenty of single nurses and quite a few single teachers ...
