Moving to Riyadh

18 years ago
I am an Indian citizen....travelled to many places like US, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, China, HongKong, Thailand etc, I am moving on an assignment with a Auto Company based in Riyadh. I would like to check out actual social life conditions for families from India and non-Islam. Do women have to wear the special dress at all times? Understand in public places too, you cannot interact with women, right? No evening or night life in Riyadh? No movie halls or theatres? No pubs no discos? Even expats have no access to alcohol? Even for social drinking? The description I keep getting is only discouraging. And this makes me wonder whther I am making a right decision to move in. Can someone clarify please?
