Hi all!

What about meeting the other Jeddah Expat.com members in real life? Organizing an Expat.com meet up would be an excellent way to know them!

An Expat.com meet up can be a diner gathering, having coffee, a bring and share in a nice place, a cultural or sports activity, etc. There are plenty of possibilities: just imagine a pleasant way to meet new people and old friends from Expat.com.

Feel free to organize Expat.com get-togethers in Jeddah: you would meet the other members in a friendly atmosphere and have a good time together!

Of course, we could offer some help to organize your meet up and to inform the community.

So, whos in? Do not hesitate to start a new thread to suggest an Expat.com gathering in Jeddah.

Best,

Julien

Nothing personal but as of Jeddah, people here are Muslims and get together with opposite genders is not allowed as per the religion and the rules allocated in this country.

gvgmeActive member14 July 2012 21:50:28

We all know that, but we also do know that there are specific places where gender mixing are not strictly enforce.

stcActive member17 July 2012 07:05:21

even if the gender mixing is not enforced... there are some moral etiquettes of Islam living within people... they dont need any enforcement to follow the rules and regulations.
Peace
