Single Female Accomodation....!

After the well starred hotels are the decent furnished apartments; but I'm afraid their monthly bills will also exceed 5K at least.

Being a paying guest to a nice family will be a great idea. I wish someone could offer you that.

Lastly, never heard of the 'hostels' concept availability in Riyadh (but I'm not sure). It must be the best option if available.

Luthan will cost around SR 450 per nite. Family accommodation is the best available option.

Thankyou for the reply guys,really appreciate that!

I know the best option would be family accomodation,but its a tricky space,because you cant trust anybody so easily.I'd prefer to share an appartment with a single woman,although im open for all available options i.e hotel,hostel etc

All the best @Anne099,

Do post in Expat-Blog Riyadh Classifieds too. This might help.

@Anne099 - Somebody in your network work colleagues etc should be able to help you out. You say you did your students visa, and hence I am assuming that you will have a couple of friends here. I am sure you will find a way somehow.

Cheers and all the best!

i might be going out on a limb here. but as far as i know single females are not allowed to live alone. they uaually stay in single female accomadation. thats as far as i know. good luck with it all.

So, any ideas on how to find a room with an ex-pat family here in Riyadh? I have an allowance of 2750 SAR per month.

you can also see Fal Compound. It's very nice one. It's near PNU and the airport.

FAL offers single apartment style accommodation within their compound which is cheap and convenient for singles.

Yes, FAL does. But the rates (as I know) are ~50K/annum.

Checking with them will be a good idea, here is their site address:

Many thanks for your help - I will investigate further.

50k is, sadly, out of my reach.

Hello - I'm myself a Western woman with a nice three bedroom villa in a small, central compound, and I'm looking for one to two female roommates. Rent is $850 a month.

hi Ellen Kn, can you please send me details for the room for rent, what is your location and the other details please

i will be waiting for your response!

I immediately need it!

Secondly im still a student & doing a job at the same time,so there is no way i can afford 5,4 star hotels like Luthan,Four Seasons,Sheraton etc.

There is a hotel named Dar Al-Majd on AbuBakr Siddiq road near exit-6 where you can have a furnished studio flats on 2500 SAR per month (inclusive of all amenities & utilities).
You must know some Arabic if u want to live alone, however better to have another female companion.

Dear Malisohail,
can you please provide me the contact details for the above mentioned furnished apartments with 2500 / month? I am also looking for an accomodation

She said she is looking for FEMALE room mates

I am female... working in an aviation company in finance deptt based in riyadh

Ah well I guessed as you had blue avatar originally you were a dude

Does KSA allow females to stay alone in the hotel ??? Or allow to take the rented accommodation, which is not provided by the sponsor-er..... ????

Contact numbers are as follows;
Fixed line: 2750055, 2755098
Fax: 2751104

Converse in Arabic otherwise it will be of no use to call. Also, again I will assert that better to move with atleast one more female companion. Or if you want to move alone then better to ask any male associate to come along for a check-in only and deal with receptionists/Admin staff (Arabic speaking).

No, it’s not encouraged at all. But you have to be tactful to sort out things Everything is possible everywhere if you are tactful enough to handle the situation

I don’t want to say more on being risk tolerant in KSA

hadeel_qur@hotmail.com

thanks

i know a small famly living in compound after exit 10 inbox me ur details i,llgive u the number of them,

Ann, You can try motels in riyadh, they are very much effort able Their are two kinds of Motels one for the family and one for Males.
They are well furnished apartment. You won't face much problems.
They are located on Exit 6 & 7 as far as i know.

I second Sophia. There are many furnished apartments (Shiga Mafroosha) on exit-6 (on Abubakr Road) for families. It is advisable that 2-3 females should live together, that would be secure (probably more than living in a villa with an unknown family) and off course afforable if your are student.

hi there, we have only one family who is looking for a paying guest into our compound, u can call on 0543880050

r u still in riyadh.?

Single female working in education, 40+, is looking for similar single females to share an apartment in the vicinity of Manarat Al Riyadh International School on Exit 8 in North Riyadh. Currently, the rents in the area for 3 bedroom apartments is around SR 2,500 - 3,000 per month. The real estate agents require at least 6 months rent in advance.

Marahaba  Hayaat

II hope you are well today
For housing
If You want my opinion Look for Housing students
or furnished apartments close to your business

I think there are Furnished Apartments for university girls students in central Riyadh housing
At the same time you can give private lessons for girls students and kids to teach English   
And the prices are cheaper .

Or  you can get A private room inside the apartment with a Filipino family
  Almost one month   1000 - 800 SR

Shehab

Hi Hayaat
Sallam Olekom 
Housing and transportation has become a problem for all
May opinion , live near your work with the families of Filipinos
take private room independent and cost you almost 800 - 600 riyals per month
Or relief private room of furnished apartments in a respectable near the exit 10

Regards..
I am also I live in Riyadh
