Gulf homes compound - How strict is it inside ?

Hi Guys and Girls,

Jack here! I read about some of the posts on this blog about Gulf homes compound.

I am Swedish working in one of the banks here in Al khobar and ill be very straight up and open with you guys .. I have a girlfriend who works in Saudi Airlines and i guess this airlines provides accomodation to its staff and crew members in Gulf homes compound.

Now we do often meet in bahrain like once or twice a month but she often asks me to visit her in her compound, which i am not sure if i should do or not ..

Is there any cafe which upon going inside i can just sit, chill and talk with my girlfriend in gulf homes ? Or is it as strict and crazy as it is out there anywhere and the religious police are gonna be all over me as soon as i sit next to my girlfriend there !

I hope you get the picture and can guide me in some way on this topic as you live in that compound. Would really appreciate any help or guidance.

Thanks alot !

Cheers.
