Hello to the collective wisdom of the net. My wife and I will shortly be moving to Riyadh. We have a 2 year old, (and I am told we will have another by this time next year.) We are currently in Oman, and Mrs.GD has many friends and toddler groups she attends, hosting parties etc. There is a toy library too.

Is there anything like that in Riyadh? Are there any groups like that or do folk generally hang out in the compounds, because I have seen they are difficult to get onto; long waiting lists et al.

If we cant get onto a compound straight away, can she attend compound functions/nurseries. Is that by invite?

I'd be grateful for peoples thoughts and experience. I have tried the "search" button, but as with most forums it lacks direction.

Cheers

Anyone!

Thankyou so much for your helpful reply. We didnt end up in Ryadh in the end. Job just disappeared into the ether. We arrived in Bahrain last month.

Cheers
