Riyadh Mommy & Baby Playdate Meetup

Hi My name is Huda and I lived in Riyadh for the past 2 years,an ex-doctor now a stay at home mom with a 1 year old son.

Riyadh is a difficult city to meet new people , I have tried meeting people in Parks and Malls but  people here are  so gaurded and anti social.   :(
We all want the best for our kids and we all remember growing up playing outdoors with friends in our home countries, turns out that social interaction is vital in helping childrens brains grow and learn important communication skills.

I am planning a meet up group for Riyadh Mommys and Babies  so we can discover fun activities in the city and socialize at the same time,

so this meetup will take place in babyfriendly areas such as  Malls and  Family Parks , theme parks .

Goals: Encouraging Social devlopment for the Kids (and Ourselves haha!)


I do not  check this forum regularly so please feel free to message on my inbox and I will send you my Whatsapp and  add you to the main group.

Reminder: this is a Ladies and Children group activity only , no Men are allowed
Thanks

Hi
I just moved to Riyadh a month ago and am also looking for a mum/baby group for my almost 2-year-old son and myself!  I'd love to join!

Hi Huda,

Just read your thread - do you still arrange play dates etc? We got here 4 days ago so everything is still pretty new.

My son is 3 and half. Hope to hear back from you when you can.

Thanks

Hi Huda,


I am also new to Riyadh and have a 1.5yr old son and I would love to join some mummy and baby groups. Did you manage to create any such activities or still want to?

@Nilayneu

hi☺️

have you found such an activity I came from Turkey and I am looking for such an event for my son. I would be very happy if you let me know.

@Mumsyx please let me know if you could find means for play dates, gatherings or events... I'm looking for something of the sort for my 5 years old daughter... We're trying to make new friends and have some fun since we've recently moved to Riyadh

Hello fellow mums!


So good to see all the messages on this wall - I relate to each one! Moved to Riyadh this July and have been pretty much on house arrest with my 9.5 month old. We are desperate to find a group like this so we can make friends here in Riyadh, get out more often and have things to look forward to. My daughter too needs to see more humans around her, play with other children, develop social skills. Poor thing has developed bad stranger anxiety - thanks to the isolated life we live here.


My name is Swati and I don't know if leaving my contact here is a good idea but I'm taking a leap of faith...

Would LOVE to be part of a Riyadh mums gathering / play date soon.
