What do I need to know before retiring in Riyadh?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Riyadh, they said...

"Expats considering retiring in Riyadh should be aware that the city is a conservative Islamic society and that there are strict laws governing the behavior of both locals and visitors. Expats should also be aware that alcohol is strictly prohibited and that the dress code is conservative. Additionally, it is important to note that Riyadh is a very hot and dry city, with temperatures often reaching over 40 degrees Celsius in the summer months. Finally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Riyadh is relatively high, and that the city is not particularly well-known for its nightlife or entertainment options," commented one expat who made the move to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
