Hello Everyone,
I've recently accepted a teaching position in Jeddah and am supposed to be moving there in the next 2-3 months. I look forward to meeting many of you
My question is about compound life, and the social scene in these compounds. I've read that different rules apply to those who live in compounds (i.e., men and women socialize freely, women may drive, there are cinemas there, security is minimal once inside, etc.), how true is this?
I will be moving to Saudia City compound; does anyone know anything about this compound? What are the demographics of the people who live there? is there a strong expat community there? how do young singles spend their time there?
Thanks,
Ramy
