Well, if I ever learn anything about this topic, and provided I am not busy, I will write it down on this forum one day, so the next generations won't have to re-invent the wheel over again

You can easily get a large, comfortable, private villa (possibly even with a swimming pool), in almost any area on the outskirts of Riyadh for that price. I saw one in the north (Exit 7) for US$ 12,000 per annum a few weeks back. It was brand new and had 4 bedrooms and 3 toilets with a small garden and garage.

Thanks a lot musicman. I am definitely hoping to be able to get something that has its own yard/garden so family could spend some time outside the house, even though I am aware of the fact that properties are walled anyway.

Are the north suburbs of Riyadh (Exit 7) that you are mentioning only residential blocks with nothing close by within walking distance (ex. parks, shops, anything recreational)?

I am asking this since I would like to get a clear picture if there are any options for my wife and child to do in their plentiful spare time.
