Hi guys,
I might be moving to Riyadh soon to work for a foreign company.
I have heard that Riyadh is a very conservative city and would like someone to tell me please:
1) will my ponytail long hair be a problem when going out for shopping or just being in public places? I'm ready to wear a hat if I have to because it would break my heart if I had to cut my hair. But I'm not sure whether even wearing a hat would be OK in Riyadh.
2) is there a tennis club or just tennis courts I can use?
3) are shorts forbidden to go around the city or to play sports?
Thank you very much for your answers. 
as long as u are a male u have no problems
