Yep.. Saudia has pulled their ambassador out of Egypt.

At the point of reading this I hadn't heard no but it was the random comment that confuzzled me - they were taking about being invited to parties above It was early in the morning I hadn't yet opened my eyes

Hi Emman   They just talk a lot on this thread--nothing ever comes to fruition lol

I think it would much more plausible for small groups of members who live within close reach of one another to join together to form their own sub clubs so they could simply call on the phone and meet up at a common place whenever they choose for some socializing, dinner, drinks, chat, and whatever else surfaces. Managing and running a whole club for a larger group is virtually impossible in this neck of the sands. We have tried and failed miserably over the decades.

I've been thinking, and I bet so were many others, that we should stop talking about how to make friends and just get on with making them.

so I've got this great idea of starting a social network (in real life) so we can meet-up, have fun activities or share life experiences and even discuss business and politics in a safe and friendly atmosphere, I'll call it the "Expat Club" for now, once we start getting members we can actully make it official and decide what who and how.

for starters, lets set-up a casual get together in Riyadh city (since I'm living here ) on a weekend and findout if people are serious in meeting new faces and making new friends.. we can think-up some outdoor activites for later on, such as desert trips or tours inside as well as outside of riyadh, we might (depending on the members) organize visits or monthly meetings (or quarterly even "every three months) in others cities like Jeddah or Dammam. it's just an idea and its just the begining, it depends on you to make it happen.

here goes nothing , I'm setting a weekend thursday 15th October as a first meeting date, your welcome to suggest a better date for valid reasons.


so what are you people waiting for? lets hear what you got to say!


Salman Omrani

Add me too as I will visit Riyadh in December this year.

Hey, we have already started one and usually meet up every quarter. Expats are free to join us

Yes, some of us are doing it, as well

Usually just talk alot bur FiFiMiller (and a new member, too!) stepped up offering her location and got a meeting together in record time!!

The whole problem is always a secure location.  If it's anything public, singles are taking a big chance and usually don't attend.
