What are the dynamics and culture amongst Pakistani and Indian expats in Riyadh?

My family is moving to Riyadh. I have been looking into different aspects of life over there and most things seem fine.

However, I want to know more about the culture amongst desi people over there. My mother is in her mid 40s and has never lived outside Pakistan. I’m afraid she might feel lonely and isolated in a new country.

What are the social activities that women take up in Riyadh? What is the general sense of community like amongst desi women? Do people meet and hangout? Are the people welcoming? Would it be difficult for her to adjust?

Please let me know. Do remember to be kind in the responses, thank you.

Advice on searching for an apartment

Hello everyone,

Alsalamu Alaikum.

I have a friend (single) who's searching for an apartment in Riyadh preferably in one of the following areas: حي الصحافة، العارض، القيروان، النرجس، الملقا as it's close to his workplace.

I'd really appreciate it if you could advise me on the following:

  1. Which websites to search on for apartments?

  2. Are there any specific websites for people searching for housemates? Or is this not that common in Saudi Arabia

  3. How much average rent would be for a 1+1 or a 1+0 (furnished/unfurnished).

  4. I heard that a lot of people renting are asking for 6 months or a 1-year advance payment. Is this correct or common in Saudi Arabia?

I appreciate it a lot guys.

All the best

Buying a car

Dear all,

I'm in the process of buying a car here.

The seller is trustworthy.

We did the absher and I have insurance.

I tried to transfer the money to account shown in absher. My bank locked my account and refuses to do something until I have my physical iqama. The delivery will take maybe a nother weeks or so.

Can someone else transfer the money for me or is it connected to my account?

My friend will do it for me, so my question is, does it also work.

Thank you for your advice!

Besides the conference, we will have about 3 days to spend roaming around.

Could you please suggest me:

  1. Clothes to bring. (How would the temperature be ?)

  2. Where can we spend time in Riyadh, places a 12 yo boy would enjoy.

  3. Hoping to see Ronaldo play football (games on 29 Nov and 2 Dec) - how hard is it to get tickets ?

يا جماعة أفيدوني أنصحوني انا زهقت وتعبانة مرة

بيني وبين أمي مشاكل مرة كثيرة. مشاكل يوميا تصير. نفسيتي متدمرة منها. حلمت كذا مرة فيها وفي الوالد إني أتحسبن عليهم وأقولهم إني ما أسامح لا الصغيرة ولا الكبيرة لو كان الشيء مسوينه عن عمد. ومعظم الأشياء حقيقة تكون عن عمد. ظلم غير طبيعي. وانا صغيرة كنت أهوجس طوال اليوم قبل لا انام ووانا بالمدرسة إن أمي تترقبني عشان تذبحني. عشان قبل لا الواحد يقول إن انا السبب أقولكم إن المشكلة بدت من الطفولة وأمي حاطتني انا لحالي في راسها. وتعامل أخواني أحسن مني وتسوي بيننا مشاكل ونزاعات وهو بالأخير أخواني ما يكون سوولي شيء بس هي تخلينا نبغى نشرب من دم بعض. انا أحس إن عمري ما حسيت بحنان الأم. حاجة أتفقدها في عمري. ودي أتخطى وأقول رضاها صعب بس مو قادرة. ودي أم زي باقي الأمهات. ليتها كانت حنونة وماتت كان دعيتلها بدال ما هي عايشة وذالتني وتقولي ربي ابتلاك فيني. والله العظيم إني أحاول بكل ما عندي بس انا مو قادرة لا إني أوصل لنتيجة معاها ولا إني أتجاهل المشكلة وأسلك في طريقي. كل الأياء المعروفة عن الأم وطيبتها ورحمتها مو موجودة فيها.

Good Running Routes in Riyadh (female)

Hi, So basically I love to run outdoors especially when the weather gets nicer but I don’t really know any nice places to run.

I tried running in my neighborhood but got many weird looks and honestly hated it. Does anyone know any place where runners usually go to? Especially females? I don’t wear hijab, but even when I wear an oversized black hoodie I still get annoyed..

these are the points I care about:

  • safe and not too far away from people (far enough to run in peace tho)

  • Preferably water surfaces around as it will be more humid

  • female runners friendly

Thank you all in advance for the suggestions!
