Hi All, I may be moving to Riyadh soon and have some questions as to cost of living!Also can someone explain things from a single woman point of view, as in how to get around in public transport as well as restrictions on where u can and cannot go? Thnks

cost of living better than other middle eastern countries
price hike is here also but not increasing like other
It depends how you wanna live; depends on your life style

Women can go anywhere they, they have no restrictions
As single woman is also considered as family here, and families are allowed everywhere

Only way for a women to move around is Taxi in Riyadh
or get a driver for yourself

best of luck

instead of can and can't, look for the ones that go by "shouldn't".

Oh dear :-)

Be prepared to get your wings clipped, sistah!  This place is like NO other in the world for women but you'll manage.

life is cheap in some ways here

for transportation you will manly use a chofer, or taxi ( no public transport)

you can probably go anywhere you want ( but use judgment)
