Moving to Riyadh as a single woman

megangoodacre

Hi All,


I have received a job offer in Riyadh with a global corporate, to work in commercial real estate and development advisory. The job offer is amazing but I have concerns about what my life would look like living and working in the Kingdom as a single female, when it comes to social life, work life, safety etc.


It would be great to hear about other peoples experiences and whether there is anything is need to be aware of before I make my decision.

Hello megangoodacre,


Welcome to º£½ÇÂÒÂ× ðŸ˜€


Please note that your thread has been moved to the Riyadh forum.

Hopefully, you will soon get helpful insights from other single women living and working there.


In the meantime, I recommend reading the following article: Everything You Need to Know as an º£½ÇÂÒÂ× Woman in Saudi Arabia.

Congrats on the offer

Riyadh is super safe and things have changed a lot in recent years. Work life with big corporates is usually very professional, and socially you’ll find plenty to do—cafes, restaurants, events, and a growing expat community. It might feel a bit different at first, but you’ll adapt quickly and probably enjoy it more than you expect.

focus on where to live first, that will make your life much easier
