Salam, and good evening, all

Family is likely to be relocating from the UK to Jeddah soon.

Please can someone suggest decent locations to live in which have the following facilities:

Reasonably decent accommodation (without being ripped off)
Nice and quiet area (we love greenery)
Main amenities nearby (supermarket etc)
Walking distance to mosque (this is a must)
Near British International School like JKS or BSIJ if possible
At least some like-minded families in neighborhood (ideally a few British Muslim families).

We are reasonably conservative and don't wish to be exposed to compound life where 'everything goes on'.

Ideally, we would much prefer to live in a mixed neighborhood, but only if it is not too common to see ladies in miniskirts, mixed swimming pools, etc. So, I guess compound life is probably out of the question.

Thank you in advance.

Tariq
