Honestly, don't come with a 15 year old daughter, life would be miserable for her. She would have to commute for an hur and half to go to school in Khobar. There is no normal social life for a teenager here, all the kids of that age on my compound ... Read More
Dried Cranberries in Khobar by scottlo

Having you home for Christmas will be their best present! But maybe a little bottle of the local perfume as a token, I doubt if they will like it as it is very strong and musky. Have to say the chocolates here are very wonderful and not many ladies ... Read More

Is dressing up/fashion more fun during winter season in KSA? by alsagisi
I love the cold season. Dressing up is more fun for me definitely during this season as you get to mix and match more clothes together. You get to wear scarf and gloves. And you don't need to fuss about your hair being wet from humidity. What do ...
