Perhaps the most useful advice for westerners considering relocation to Riyadh would be to be prepared. That's not meant in the way of extra outdoor gear and a first aid kid. Saudi's got all that...as a matter of fact, you'll be able to find just about anything your foreign heart desires here, so long as it doesn't fall under the category of vice. The compounds have the basics covered: hairdressers, gyms, pools and groceries, not to mention an easy-going, friendly atmosphere. Private buses whisk kids to school and back again, and homes tend to be spacious, comfortable, and modern. In cases where you can't buy it, chances are you can't bring it anyway, so leave the Jack Daniels and Christmas ornaments behind. Being prepared, rather, means being open-minded and patient. Popular schools and compounds, for instance, can have wait lists that run a couple years out. You'll want to make sure that you're on all the right waiting lists as early in the game as possible. Move One specialists can help you adjust to the unique existence that is life in Saudi Arabia's capital city.
