Hi everyone,

I am preparing my arrival in Riyadh from France, it will be my first experience so any advice is welcome !

I think my biggest challenges will be finding an accomodation near Kingdom center (so no compounds but good residences), being brave enough to drive and making sure my cat is safely coming with me ðŸ˜

Hello Everyone,


I’m preparing to relocate from Algeria to Riyadh next month on a work visa, and I’m feeling a mix of excitement and a bit of nervousness about the new experience. My office will be located in the Sulaymaniya District, and I’ve started searching for rental accommodations nearby.


If anyone has tips or recommendations on how to approach finding a suitable place to live in Riyadh, or advice for adapting to life in the city, I’d greatly appreciate your input.


Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!


Best regards,

Faycal

My husband and I recently (31 Jan) relocated to Riyadh with my husbands company.  We are here two years and currently in hotel until we secure a compound.   

We are from US, I am originally born and raised in Texas, my husband is from Washington DC.   We do have kids but  it’s just the two of us here in the area.   


I enjoy traveling, playing pool, volleyball  and meeting people.  I have lived in Japan and Iceland.  We’ve traveled a lot with a lot of other bucket list countries to fulfill. 


i am very adaptable and will make the best of my time here.
