Newbie arriving soon

I really would like to be with you ,but I couldn't am In Dammam it's so far from Riyadh 5 hour by care ....

take care of yourself  and be careful from sharks...

Did I read it right? CLUBS???

I guess you need to spend some time on this site. There are absolutely NO clubs here.

Welcome aboard anyways, and soon to Riyadh too.

By clubs I meant something to do, do not just want to sit around I am into golf (badly) but having looked around it is expensive and do not mind going to the races now and again, or just somewhere to socialize and chat about what is best to do or not as the case may be

425 kilometers only....So, not a big deal for sharks of the 21st century

welcome to Riyadh, i am a saudi female and sure i can not take you under my wing!! but feel free to ask me anything about my culture.
wish you save trip

Thank you Shanno, I have no doubt that over the coming weeks I will have many questions, in order to understand the culture and etiquette of living and travelling in Riyadh and KSA generally

You know, it's surprisingly easy to fit in here.  You just have to understand (and accept) that things aren't ever done here in an efficient or timely manner.  You can't lose your cool--just be pleasant and smile and go with the flow.  SERENITY NOW!!!!!!

Hi all bloggers
I will be arriving in Riyadh next week, and will be all alone, it would be great if someone could let me know about clubs etc in the area, and if anyone will take me under there wing to guide me around (let me know right from wrong!)as I settle in

Welcome in Expat-blog KSA Forum.

First it's seems like you have to read this thread (Do and don't in KSA) ASAP

best luck for your jump in the Magic Kingdom

I fly from the UK tomorrow night to take up my new post in Jubail, after 4 month's of waiting!

I'm not sure what to expect either, but I'm sure it will be an experience!
