• really... is that the answer.....

  unlike you i actuallly wish to make a life, and experience this country, but by all means if all you do and enjoy is watching tv then best of luck to you......i take it this is the negative attitude i was warned about that some (not all) saudi people have towards foregnors...
  best of luck to you and your television life....

• reply to bebo

  thank you for this, what i want or what im trying to find, is simply a way of meeting friends here, its hard for me to meet people as i dont speck arabic, so meeting or even chatting online to pple close to my area in rhiyardh would be a start, who dont mind talking english...Maybe it sounds really corny, but just to be able to commuicate to pple..... anyways thank you for your reply.

• Heya

  Hi,
  No you do not have to wear the Burqua or Niqab. It is not compulsory.... but in saying this, you should wear Hajib or scarf to hide your hair yes.
  But i have seen the some foreignors whom only wear the traditional abaya without a scarf.
  I hope this helps

• Dear Shimana

  i hope you have really found friends. my advice : stop chatting & look for real people ( women like yourself )or expats from your country, 80 % of the people speak tolerable english.Bebo and co are not the exception, in fact you can strike a friendship easily enough most arab women have a tolerable knowledge of english some are fluent speakers.I get the feeling some folks are trying to fool around.
  good luck

• concerned

  Thanks, yes you are correct, I posted this after not long arriving in KSA, but since this post have met many great women friends. Mostly foregnors but as of yet none from my country. The Arab women I have been lucky to be introduced to have some or little english, but its a learning experience for me, and I hope to continue meeting them. Some folks as you mentioned do fool around, but it is not my intention to meet such people, It is as you said the real people that interest me. Thank you again.
