Hi

I am an expat teacher from London, I'm spending the Eid vacation here as I'm leaving for a vacation next month. Is there anything to do other than go to malls?

Would love to make some cool friends.

Once I visited there and They told me the Gym is strictly for the Residents. So i guess that's a bad idea to call someone from outside.

I've noticed several people mention the Ritz Carlton. Aside from the bowling and restaurants, do they offer something special? Do you have to reserve a room to use the facilities?

hi
the ritz carlton is the best hotel in the kingdom
it's worth a look

Hi,
I hope you are fine.
Here are few parks you can visit there. Go to long drives. In compound go to swimming, dancing, gym etc.

Looking forward to hear from you.

I want friendship from you. By profession I am engineer.

Regards
Fahad.

Based upon my 5 weeks' experience, I can confirm that Dammam/Khobar is a good place. I recommend a visit here, whenever you have the time.

Hey Selena, my contribution is obviously a month too late. But just thought I might put some ideas in your head for other days.

A visit to the Diplomatic Quarter - you can walk around without your abaya; have coffee at starbucks; go down the wadi for a walk etc. Maybe better with company, but not impossible alone.

Other places are:
1. Faisaliah Tower (building with a golden globe on the top) - an a fantastico restaurant within the globe - pricey but worth it!
2. Masmak Museum nr Al Battah
3. Vardi Neymar
4. Brunch at the Ritz on a Friday - arrive about 1pm (pricey but worth it)

Then if you are into clubbing - hmmmmm. This is a secret santa one! Every other Thursday night at Turkish Compound - Exit 13 Eastern Ring Road - no invitation necessary - just pay at the gate and enjoy a buffet and one drink on your ticket. Then more drinks at the bar. You will be treated some club music by an American DJ. You dance your night away till 4 am.

Not so much of a lone soldier kind of things all the stuff I am suggesting. I hesitate going there either on my own. So I may volunteer to come along to some of them, like DQ and Turkish Compound. lol. By the way, at the Ritz there is no segregation of men and women!

I have some upcoming events on my whatsapp, which I could forward if I had a way to...
