Hi

I too plan to move to Riyadh with my two children 13 and 15 and with our pets in Sept/Oct. My husband has just accepted a job so we are right at the beginning of the process.

Be great to connect with you not just for advice but friendship too.

Hope your move goes well in April.

Hi, I have been given an opportunity for a job in Jeddah and coming over for a month in mid April. I was born and lived in the UK all my life but considering moving to Jeddah. If anyone has any advice on living in Jeddah, I wouldn't mind meeting up for a coffee or a meal on me to discuss this then please let me know, thanks

@faheeltrains

If you were in Jeddah, I might have considered having you help me with my fitness. Food in Saudi is amazing as far as my last few visits is concerned so will definitely need a PT

@douglassuzy

hi Suzy,

just came across your post and wondering if you have made any progress on finding appropriate secondary schools? I am working in Riyadh and intend to move my family from the UK to KSA. I have 13 yrs old who is about to finish KS3 in UK and will start KS4 from September 2024. would appreciate if you could share your experience of finding an appropriate secondary school so far.

thanks

@faheeltrains

Hi @faheeltrains

I might be interested in kickboxing, as I practiced it some time ago when I was living in Asia.

Do you have any gym suggestions, or do you offer group training? I don't think I need a personal trainer yet.

Thanks so much!

@Julien

Hey, i arrived in Riyadh almost a month ago from Australia. My work has brought me back here to gulf, I work in construction and I previously lived in Dubai and Bahrain from 2005-2012.

Riyadh so far has been interesting, although Ramadan is not the best time to explore nor judge a city on, so I am keen to see what this city has to offer! And of course looking to meet some lovely, positive professionals to share the experience!!

Greetings everyone!

I am on the verge of moving to Saudi, and have been traveling back and forth for leisure and work for a while now. I will be heading there next month to see how independently I can manage before taking on the full commitment! However, it will be my first time in Jeddah - and alone with no social contacts in the city! I'm so used to depending on friends for everything from drives to grocery shopping.

I'm open to any and all advice, positive vibes and much-needed dua

@Megan Arno

Cannot give advice on Jeddah, but if you want any advice about Riyadh, then let me know! 😉

@Live80821

Hi. I am interested in learning Arabic, please can you message me!

@Xinho

Hi, my name is Edgar.

Thank you for accepting me in this forum

I am a Spanish citizen who has lived in the country for 17 years. Originally from El Salvador, I am a husband, father of two children, and internist.

After a year of procedures, I have established an employment contract in Riyadh and am now awaiting translations and a visa, which I anticipate will allow me to be in Riyadh in June 2024, barring any complications. First, I'll travel, followed by my family.

We are incredibly excited, but also apprehensive and full of doubts, while we wait for everything to work out.

It is a pleasure to be a member of this community.

All the best!

Edgar
