Social life in Jeddah

For Filipino women it's not that hard. There is a lot of Filipino gathering here in Jeddah most especially every Friday where most people don't have work. You can go to Malls and meet friends while you let your child play in the play area.

Yeah that's true but in my case it's different ...especially if u r an arab not easy

would think being arab would be significantly easier, having the language an all... unless that whole tribalism stuff kicks in

Moroccon and no friends here, I actually cant believe it.
There is an event coming next week and you can connect with different nationalites. Entry is exclusively by invitation and you can attend it with your husband. inbox me for details.

That's sound interesting !!...hope u answer me there

Hi Sheene! How come it's easy for Filipinas to socialize here in Jeddah?

One could start friendly chats with locals in public places, parks, coffee-shops, training courses, work.

I think it is fairly doable if a person figures out a good way to socialize.

A good place to start is work. A good way to start conversation is to start asking for directions to places of interest and for their recommendations of good places to get to. As strange as this may seem, barbers, mostly, are excellent at communicating and would be more convenient to chat with.

The following comment is general and not directed to you:
isolating oneself in a silos hinders networking and reduce the probability of forming good relationships with others.

Kind Regards,

Well done 3 years masha allah thats nice

letsn all be friends thas it. heeh

Welcome brother in Jeddah , my city.

Yep its really really hard !
Especially with traditions and customs of Saudi Arabia.
I made some friends via work, and even that didn't last for more than 3 or 4 months.

i agree , it is not easy to make new friends in Jeddah , Jeddah now different city , before 25 years ago , it  was small city and little people , now big city , may be 3 millions population , but mix city , a lot of nationalities stay in jeddah
