Nonesuch: There is NO nightlife

by american_tourister

KSA has no bars, no movie theaters, no clubs, no places where men and women mingle. It has NO nightlife. All there is for anyone is work. That is why we are here and that is all there is. You can get DVDs but they are so censored that it is no fun to watch.

everywhere: the Nighty Bustle of Ramdan

by Manyana

during the holy month of ramadan - the ninth month in the lunar 'Hijri' calendar - the whole saudi arabia just looks different from the rest of the year. regardless of the fasting during the day, streets get crammed by people and cars, life becomes very vibrant, restaurants are open until 4am in the morning to serve Sahour meal (before starting the fasting day), malls wear new dresses of decoration and islamic-like design. it just becomes very 'christmas-like' but in a very islamic saudi way.usually working shifts are shorter, same pay though. private companies and public sector work for 5 or 6 hours a day starting from 10pm to 3 or 4pm as maximum. that's due to the late hour people stay at; usually people sleep during the day and stay up the whole night until the morning literally speaking. the best TV shows during the year are specially shown during ramadan and they run until a late...

saudi in the evening - jeddah
wearing

by meso1

hello Shelnlinwhat you write about Abbaya and Shorts are 99% true.the abbaya and scarf over heads are must for Saudi's women as a traditions and religion but the face cover is optional. But for non saudis its better to wear Abbaya to feel not stranger for the saudis.The Shorts is also not forbidden but the saudi culture is recommend wearing Thoob every where you go but still we can see saudis wear Shorts and Jeans every where.

Your home, or rent a location.: Have A Dinner Party

by clws

You can always have a dinner party in your home, or in a rented location. These can be a lot of fun. You can plan a really fun menu that you do yourself or have catered, or you can have a theme type that everyone brings a dish to share! Depends on what type you have. Can be anywhere from casual, to dress, to a theme.

Your favorite restaurant: Dining Out

by clws

There isn't much night life in Saudi Arabia, so why not enjoy a night out at your favorite restaurant! There are many nice places to eat, and a variety of types of food. Depends on the type of restaurant you choose to dine in and the area. In some areas, even non muslim women may choose to wear an abayah while out.

What could be better?: Sitting in Kaaba

by marenloo

Setting in or around the HARAM. Some people their food and sitting there after Magrib. I sit their after Ishaa , watching Alkaaba , people getting around it. The most attractive thing in this sort of kind life is that it's very healthy , you will be fully relaxing and think of only one , Allah , the god , who hs created you.

My place or your place?: Nightlife???? mmmmm errrrrrrr!!

by shelnlin

Saudi Arabia is a some what restrictive country and therefore there is very little in the way of Nightlife unless your activities include playing sports, going out shopping and visiting friends. There are no Clubs, Bars, or Picture theatres here so the lifestyle here is very quiet here compared to many other countries. Many expats tend to get together in each others homes and have BBQ's dinner etc... or sometimes go out for special occassions or whenever they feel they want a 'night' out. Despite what the media says about the expat lifestyle, many of us are just normal people making a bit of money so that we can be a little bit more comfortable when we go home. We don't have wild parties and many of us can survive without alcohol in our systems. Saudi Arabia, as restrictive as it may be is not a bad place and would be a nice place to bring up a family is there is little crime here and...

Nightime in Downtown Al Khobar
Al Rashid Mall: When there is nothing else to do...

by shelnlin

Because Saudi Arabia is a rather restrictive country and there are no bars,nightclubs, picture theatres etc... (see my first Nightlife tip). Many people tend to use shopping as an outing with their friends and family.Rashid Mall comprises of some of the worlds top brands such as Next, Liz Clairborne, United Colors of Benetton, BHS, just to name a few, all in the largest Shopping Mall here in Saudi Arabia. The exterior looks somewhat like a huge castle like building and has parking avaliable. There is a Food court on the top level which has a mixture of Asian, Iranian, American and many other well known food outlets such as Mc Donalds and KFC. Rashid also has it's own selection of Coffee Shops from Starbucks to Cinnabon. A word of warning to all of you wishing to dine in the Kingdom. There are generally two sections in a Restaurant or Cafe here in Saudi Arabia. One is for Single males...

Have some fun at the Mall-Saudi style
There really isn't much. No...

by Dick_Loudon

There really isn't much. No clubs I was aware of, and there is a real taboo against alcohol, at least publicly. I spent my evenings at the hotel or in coffee shops with business associates--Saudis. Business casual; no jeans, shorts, or t-shirts.

The Marine House.: The Marine House.

by sandboarder

One of the few places in the DQ where you can get real drinks. One of the VERY FEW places in the DQ where you can get real drinks without having to put up with schmucks. No pagers, cellphones, or electronic paraphernalia. Can be formal, but they'll let you know. Mostly casual.
