We are celebrating "April Fool's Day" today and all the fools are invited for a luxurious feast at GLOBE Faisaliah.
pm me with your names so that i can add them to the guest list.
The invitation is from 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm. please make sure to make it on time as we have to empty the hall at 10 sharp.
The entrance to GLOBE is from the hotel lobby and i don't think I need to post directions for Faisaliah.
the tel. no. is 01-2732000
Hope to see a good bunch from ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ
Hello slyshooter,
I am in Riyadh since two weeks, and I find it very boring to here. I want to attend your event, it will be an opportunity as well to meet other bloggers.

Certainly it is how come Get-together/Feast (which were arranged in Embassies uptill now) suddenly upgraded to find their place in GLOBE Faisaliah:) A question in itself :p

hehehhehe so true
well not an event info .. a question rather.. we have such a wide range of nationalities here, and there any many functions that are being conducted in the DQ, like on a regular basis.
Would it be a nice idea, if people can keep others informed about the events happening in their respective consulates ?
I can maintain and manage the mailing list, but I need volunteers to provide me with the needed info ... any takers ?

½ûÂþÌìÌà GATHERING
UBC BOWLING CENTER
RIYADH
There is a separate post on it as well but just as a reminder I am posting the details here again.
We are planning a get together at UBC Bowling Center Wednesday i.e. 20th April, 2011 at 8pm.
If you haven't been there, just to let you know that it is one of the biggest bowling center in Riyadh and has a huge family section as well. So the invitation is for both parties.
Probably we can arrange a mini-tournament as well if needed. We are currently good number of singles and families confirmed.
I think it will be a good exercise, and if interested can have dinner together as well. I can get an exclusive space and good discount if we gather good crowd.
Time: 8 p.m. sharp
Location: It's located on Maather Street, basically if you are coming from Faisaliah, travelling South from King Fahad Road, you take a right (West) from Intercontinental Hotel and travel straight on Maather St. till the end of the world (3 Km). Just before the end you will find it on your left hand side. It's a huge center and pretty hard to miss. Â… amp;v=wall
Note: All single ladies will get free of charge transport, bowling & dinner + they will get exclusive gifts.
The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

Thanks dude, I had been there today and it was truly refreshing for me, what a nice multicultural gathering......simply wow!
Saudi government is doing its level best for upraising the education level of their youth....literally the youth needs to realize the impressive efforts made by Saudi government and should strive to meet expectations.

30th April at 1pm
Near Olaya/Sulaimaniya
Please contact Florence on saudicrafts@gmail.com to book and for location map.
***
If you are a small group interested in these events, Haya Tours organises tours by private car and has put together two options for us:
Option 1: Visit the gallery of ceramic artist Awatif AlKenebit followed by a visit to one of the art exhibitions as detailed above.
Awatif is an award winning Saudi artist and a fascinating lady. She will give you a private tour of her gallery and will talk about her work. Refreshments will be served before Haya Tours drives the group to the chosen exhibition.
Option 2: Visit the Women in Art exhibition and tour of the museum with Salwa, founder of Haya Tours, who is a Saudi lady passionate about her country. Salwa can take you round the museum and talk about some of the history and her experiences of life in Saudi. She is by no means an archaelogy or historical expert but will certainly add a personal touch to the tour.
For costs and more info contact Salwa on info@yahatour.com or 0504 166 323.
