Hi All,

Female ...and coming ALONE!!! First timer in SA.

I took up a job offer in Khobar area, in a compound, but soooooo paranoid about the rules outside of it, that i already feel as if i was a criminal. (Guys i heard ur making a good living by being hired as a Mohram/Chaperone!! i'll need ur services soon lol)

I don't wana die out of boredom & loneliness coz i won't last there a month..forget about the good package mate!

How is it to go out of the compound alone (as a woman) and how easy is it to go exploring other cities like Jeddah?

I hope i'll make enough friends to not feel lonely, but if we go out on girlie shopping or discovering trips are we gona be dealt with suspiciously?? and perceived badly?

Any suggestions, comments, infos, proposals lol,...welcome

Second, do not worry you will not feel bored As for the shopping alone will not bother you one.

As for the parameters of the city, it is easy to identify them and access it at any time.

If Ohabpti Go and explore other cities such as Jeddah, Riyadh, there is no problem.

A person may be you go and Ante and your girlfriend or your friend in terms of security situation is very secure from possible to stay out of the house enjoing at 4:00 AM
