Hi,

Would you like to have a coffee, organize a dinner or find people for activities in Saudi Arabia?

To help you meet people and find outings in Saudi Arabia, we launched a Gatherings and Events section in Saudi Arabia: you can now follow what's going on in your area and make the most of your time off.

You can also create events and organize a gathering with the Expat.com members.

How to create a gathering?

On the Events in Saudi Arabia page, click on “Post an event”.
Fill in the form with the details related to the gathering: date, place, hour… and post your event.

It's now time to invite the other members! You can opt for a public event or a private one (Invitation or Invitation plus).

To send invites, click on “Invite friends” on your event page and select who you wish to invite.

Get informed of who is coming through this page and get in touch with the other members or add pictures of the events in the comments.

A photo album dedicated to the event will then be created.

What do you think of this new feature?

Thanks,

Julien

I am looking for any lounge or a bar (Like an acoustic bar cafe) where you can unwind and relax every Friday here in Jubail. If not, then I'd be glad to put up if only I had the mechanism. PM me.

Why not? Nothing more boring than a group of guys sitting and talking, it has to be mixed!

Flight attendants, shop assistants, cashers, bank helpdesks, company help desks.....

Couldn't find anything, really?

Mind you, stuck with where I can walk to or take the shuttle bus. Which is the Fanateer area at the moment, though I'm liking exploring on foot..
