ROLF!

The only neighborhood I know in Riyadh not filled with Saudis is Batha which is equivalent to bab Makkah here...stay in Jeddah.

Awww hamuds, leave this for us the Riyadizens......

Go for Hail Wazarat, Sulaimaniya, Malaz, Murabba, Umm al Hamam and rawdah.

I just can't see a fellow Jeddawi leaving for Rio

Its not what you mentioned above, its more of an upscale area, not cheap, more villas.

So that would be equivalent to Jeddah's Tahlia/Khalidya area

I actually meant to say "somewhere within the north side"...not south.

Alright...How about a few names of areas on the nicer side

aslamalaykum how r u

Don't know what your real need is but on north Dirriyah, Aqiq etc have a big expat population mostly asian and a lot of apartments.
