Latest post on 30 August 2017 - 13:30

My Husband will be arriving in Riyadh, mid September 2017, based on all the research we have done on various compounds - we are getting many conflicting views and also some crazy costs of Compounds from 80 000 to 500 000 per year. We are a South African family (English / Afrikaans) with two little girls (10 & 7) - myself and the girls will be arriving early 2018. Truth as a mother i would like to be in a Western Compound with max freedom for my Children and myself, and also in a Compound with like minded families (small children) and later to meet up with some South Africans too. We currently live in a game reserve in SA - and was wondering are there "like" Country Compounds...??? Ps, my Husband's new role is to be part of the various new Tourism Visions 2030 for Saudi and will be setting up camps / Tours / etc etc Thank you Tanya
