How do I meet people in Saudi Arabia?
When we asked people living in Saudi Arabia about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Many expats join social and professional clubs in Saudi Arabia such as the International Women's Group and the Riyadh International Sports Club. These clubs offer a space for expats to connect, network, and enjoy recreational activities. Expats can also meet people through activities like volunteer work, language classes, or religious groups. Additionally, they may meet people through work or by attending networking events or conferences in the area," said another expat in Saudi Arabia.
"There were many expatriate clubs before the 2004 security incident which caused most westerners to leave. Everything from knitting and drama to golf and scuba diving. They all vanished, but are just startign to come back due to the huge influx of westerners to Yanbu because of the gigantic industrial expansion. There are only two western expatriate compounds - Arabian Homes and The Cove. If you live on either, there are many social activities," wrote a member who made the move to Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.
