Hmmmmmm... didn't take you long!

You are right ,
but we are not able to find something to do after dinner.

We heard a lot about compounds, we would like to visit one of these.

Do you live in a compound? There are a lot of things to do inside?

thanks

bye

Me?  Yes.  But it's not a western compound

I'd suggest that you get in touch with the Italian embassy and see what they have going on:
   
Embassy of Italy in Riyadh
Diplomatic Quarter P.O.Box 94389 - 11693
Riyadh Saudi Arabia   

Phone #:  00 96614834877

E-mail:  ambasciata.riad@esteri.it

Benvenuti to Saudi...
No doubt you are already in contact with your embassy, however new Italian expats are unfamiliar with the fabulous evenings entertained inside the Spanish embassy. Many Italians go to their celebraziones. Pop into the embassy, introduce yourself and get on the party list. The  Spanish diplomatic entourage  are a fun lot.
Ti auguro buona fortuna.

Hi everybody,

we are not yet in contact with the our embassy.

Party list sounds good, we would to join in the fabulous evenings entertained inside the Spanish embassy.

What do you do during the evening?

Do you have something to suggest us?

Cheers,

thanks a lot for your help

Use the link I gave you to call the compounds to get their updated costs and to make an appointment to visit.  They will quite probably not have any openings BUT you need to get the manager's name and keep making personal contact.  The key to getting anything in Saudia is persistence (but persistence with a smile).

The quality of what you get depends on your budget.  If you don't have much to spend, you'll either have to lower your standards OR pay the additional money out of your own pocket.

Good luck!
