I meant to post this on earlier but what stopped me was the Move From Hell which we experienced this week! Believe it or not we were sleeping on the floor in the new house, while our beds and foods were being held hostage overnight in the moving truck by the greedy and totally unprofessional moving firm men. If you want to hear all about this moving experience with not one but two incompetent unprofessional and rude moving companies then go to this post: Move from…

Now after all that stress, a picture of colorful lollipops to change the mood.. :)

And now to the positive things! Sorry men of Riyadh but you’re out of luck this April! Looks like there’s TONS of stuff to do this month but mostly it’s for the ladies in Riyadh. This is the month of exhibitions so be sure to check out at least one of these if you haven’t been to a female only expo in Riyadh yet! Not to be missed!

I cannot stress how much fun it is to go these exhibitions and it’s a great chance for the female expatriates in Riyadh to get to know some Saudi women too. I often hear women complaining it’s impossible to meet and talk to Saudi women here. This is your best chance to see them without any barriers such as the veil and abaya and out of the public eye. You will find Saudi women very friendly, warm, welcoming and curious toward expats at these events.

Here are the Ten Activities  going on in Riyadh this April:

 

2. Wedding Fair at Nayyara Banquet Hall 22nd-25th April: http://www.nayyara.com/

3. Cosmo Beauty Fair 2012 Four Seasons Hotel 21st – 23rd Apr

    Do you have any idea?

    Hi,

    I’m from Abu Dhabi and I’d really love to pay a visit to anything happening that would allow me to interact with more saudi females. I always see them in the UAE but rarely get a chance to socialize the way I want to even though I do have many saudi friends but I don’t think it’s the same.

    Anyhow, I’m very interested and I’d love to hear back from you for some advice.ReplyCancel
