Girl Talk: How Can Single Women Avoid Stranger Danger? by GuestPoster400
Because I live within the compound, I've been walking around King Fahad Medical City every evening for a few months now and I've experienced my fair share of creepers and stalkers. Avoidance or really loud direct confrontation usually does the trick ...
When dealing with stalkers/creepers: Never entertain them. Don't even insult them. Guys like attention, and might even interpret what you're doing as 'playing hard to get'. Best advice is to pretend like they aren't there. In the unfortunate ... Read More
Private beach resorts in Saudi Arabia by Katelol
hi everyone Do you know any private beach resorts in Saudi Arabia? Thank you
Your words not mine. Young Saudi's who do not normally see women without covering are prone to stare. Those are my words. As far as the horny old men I think Alleycat has responded to that.I wasn't asking a real question. We both know that. ... Read More

Just a word of warning usually Saudi's are not allowed in the private beaches but every once in a while a few young Saudi guys would get in. Probably guests of someone. They made it awkward staring at the ladies. Be prepared to ignore them.So ... Read More

Breaking news sites for traffic? by riyadh1
Hi all, I was wondering if there are any websites that update traffic situations in Riyadh, or would inform of a water main break and things of this sort that would cause delays when traveling throughout the city? Does such a site exist in ...
Hash tag #RiyadhTraffic helps sometimes (if there are major accidents or so). It's mostly in Arabic though, and 60% of the time it's just used for rants on riyadh traffic. (lol) https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23riyadhtraffic Read More
Saudi iPad by josullivan
If I buy a Saudi issue iPad that comes without Facetime can I install this when I get home? Does anyone know if there is anything else missing from the ones sold here? I know there grey market versions round too have facetime but I am too cheap to ...
iPad 3 will be announced soon (March most likely). I wouldn't buy iPad 2 at this time, especially since the new iPad is going to have retina display (the most important aspect about the device). Even if I manage to find it at a steal price. Retina ... Read More
Cell phones by saboodles12
Hey All, Any advice on cell phones in Jeddah. We would like one that works in Europe and US and not crazy expensive. Thanks,
Carriers in Jeddah are the same ones in all of Saudi. There aren't many promotions to Europe and the U.S, so rates are high. Gmail lets you call U.S numbers for a single cent per minute. Skype is also dirt cheap for US. I think the same thing ... Read More

Okay, for many of you (most?) English is your second language so I often see you misunderstanding each other. For example: Wilson, Imraan was saying he agrees with you because of freedom of expression and said that *I* was trying to show some ... Read More

Posting this again because thread is duplicated. Be very cautious while driving. There are certain highway "rules" between drivers that you need to be aware of. Never drive on the left most lane unless you are faster than the cars behind you. ... Read More
