Irish Community in Riyadh?

Hi, I will be arriving in Riyadh mid January and would love to hear from other Irish people already living in there. Is there anything from home I can't get out there and I should bring with me for instance....do the Irish meet up and have any social gatherings?

It was fast because of your good natured responses! 

As for me, I am American.  Somebody of Irish descent who is born in the US is NOT Irish-- he or she is American!  I do happen to have some Irish ancestry but I am American.

Oh that's nice :) I just came from the states like 2 weeks ago I was in tx and went to AZ I have a lot of friends there and I move from place to other in the states cuz of my classes and now I'm here for a while I'm not ready to go back to school anymore I think getting old lol and btw I don't know anyone Ireland but I know american Irish friends just like you ! So are you in riyadh now or you are planning to come to riyadh ?

Hi, so sorry for hijacking your thread! 

There are lots of Irish women in Riyadh, working mostly as administrative assistants, teachers and nurses.  Check in with your embassy, first thing and join us at the Irish Pub on Olaya Street (sorry, this second was just a joke lol).

Best of luck!
