Dear Friends

     I have a job offer and planning to arrive in Riyadh in early/mid August.

     While going through the posts here noticed that Ramadan is in August.

       Appreciate if members can recommend if it will be better to arrive in early Sept.

      Thanks
      AME

its as bad as anyother, but i recon people get denser in ramdan; lower food intake ==> lower blood sugar levels..

shorten working days but they get more aggravated like they have a bad case of hemroids, and the food marathon /... try to delay it a bit; maybe never if you can afford that ../

Come after Ramadan, Ramadam will end on 30/31 August, the first few days of September will be Eid Holidays.

Riyadh will be a very quiet place in Ramadan (lots of people will be on holiday). Therefore it will be more practical and beneficial if you arrived after Ramadan.
