Are there many Pakistanis living in Oasis Village (Al Hamara) and is there a mosque in the compound?
Help appreciated
Re: Riyadh

its best to socialize....

Re: Riyadh
-plenty: lahori khaba, others i cant think of them but there are enough
- theres grocery stores like panda ,othaim and hyper markets and you can find pretty much everything
- there are a few but they mostly suck.They are expensive plus the clothes arent that good.
-you can get a pehla connection (it has a few channels) .We have this satellite that encrypts from the internet( dont know whats it called) there are plenty of channels (1000 so)
Re: Riyadh
dont worry mate, life is not very difficult there. you will get almost every thing you need. Your wife might have a problem as there is no freedom to drive on roads. Inside compounds, yes she can :-). I dont live there but generally, young people in late 20ies or early 30ies find it a sort of boring place. Though over all, they dont call it bad.
