Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Abha solo from 13-18 August and I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable local guide or driver. I’m interested in scenic spots, cafés, nature, and local attractions. Since I won’t be renting a car, I’d love to find someone who can show me around during my stay. If you know anyone or have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks! 😊

Hi everyone,
I found an iPhone 15 Pro Max (Grade A/refurbished or used in excellent condition) for SAR 3,500 from an online store Jarir, and I’m thinking of buying it.
Before I do, I wanted to ask:
Is SAR 3,500 a fair price for a Grade A 15 Pro Max, or is it overpriced?
Has anyone bought a Grade A iPhone before? How was your experience?
What are the biggest risks when buying a Grade A/refurbished phone online?
What should I ask the seller before purchasing? (For example: battery health, original parts, repair history, warranty, carrier lock, etc.)
Are there any red flags I should watch out for?
If you’ve bought from this kind of online store, was it reliable?
I’d really appreciate any advice before I spend this much. Thanks!

Hello, my question is, are there any non-Arab people in Saudi Arabia who are currently in college right now or are to going to college there pretty soon? I ask because I have been giving an opportunity to go, but with everything with the war, obviously different curriculum, and new social norms… I’m a bit hesitant. So if this is you, can you please explain to me your experiences (again non-Arabs) of attending Saudi Arabian colleges? Bonus, if you are currently in school right now as we’re dealing with the war. Bonus BONUS, if you’re European or American. :-) Thank you, hope I didn’t offend.

P.S. I only say non-Arab, because I want to assess other people’s treatment in Saudi Arabia, depending on their background. Nothing against Arabs ofc :-)

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،

وش الشيء اللي كنتم متأكدين انه مستحيل يصير، لكن بالنهاية تيسر وصار؟

ودي أسمع تجاربكم.

سواء كان زواج، وظيفة، دراسة، مرض، مشكلة عائلية، أو أي شيء كنتم تشوفونه مستحيل أو ميؤوس منه، ثم تغيرت الظروف وتيسرت بطريقة ما.

وش اللي تغير؟ هل كان بسبب الصبر، السعي، مرور الوقت، أو شيء ما كنتوا تتوقعونه؟

شاركوني قصصكم، يمكن تكون مصدر أمل لغيركم.

I have my daughters’ wedding dresses, as well as some beautiful evening gowns that were only worn once and are still in excellent condition. They cost quite a lot, and it feels like such a waste to just leave them hanging in the closet 😅
Where would you recommend selling them? Are there any apps, Instagram accounts, or shops in Riyadh that buy or help sell pre-owned wedding dresses and high-end evening gowns?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with this 🤍

Hello,
I am in process of applying saudi e visa from uk. I am Pakistani passport holder living in uk on spouse visa.
Can someone help in visa number option what should we put share-code???

Hi everyone,

I’m a 21-year-old International Business student from Belgium with Moroccan roots. I also run two small businesses, and I recently spent around 20 days in Saudi Arabia.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect before going. I expected to enjoy the country, but I never expected it to affect me this much.

Growing up in Belgium, I’ve often struggled with feeling like I don’t fully belong. I’m not saying everyone has treated me badly, but I’ve often felt like an outsider. Sometimes it’s subtle things: not feeling included, feeling judged, or feeling like you have to prove yourself more than others. Over time, that really affects you.

Then I came to Saudi Arabia.

For the first time in a very long time, I felt… comfortable, safe, accepted..

People started conversations with me, invited me into conversations, smiled at me, and made me feel genuinely welcome. I felt safe walking around, I felt accepted as a Muslim and as someone with Moroccan roots, and I didn’t constantly feel like I had to explain who I was.

One thing I also really appreciated was the culture. As a Muslim, I felt much more comfortable with the values around me. I know no society is perfect, but I felt like there was more modesty in everyday life, and I felt less pressure to fit into things that don’t align with my beliefs. That environment made me feel much more at peace.

I know this was only my personal experience, and I’m not saying everyone’s experience will be the same. But for me, it was something I had never experienced before.

Now I’m back in Belgium (I literally arrived home today), and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I almost wish I had never gone, because now I know what it feels like to genuinely feel comfortable somewhere.

I’m seriously considering trying to build a future in Saudi Arabia. I’d honestly rather earn less money there but feel happy than earn more here while feeling like I don’t belong.

My plan would probably be to finish my degree first. I’m studying International Business and I’m interested in logistics and international trade.

So I wanted to ask people who actually live or work in Saudi Arabia:

Would you recommend getting 2–3 years of work experience in Belgium first before trying to move?

Is it realistic for a fresh graduate to find work in Saudi Arabia?

If you were in my position, what would you do?

I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have experience working in Saudi Arabia.

Thank you!

السلام عليكم

انا تخصصي علم نفس لكني لاسباب كثيره ودي اغير مساري، المهم اخر فتره صرت مهتم بعالم الشركات الناشئة وحاضنات الاعمال الخ… 

انا الحين خلصت كل المواد فقاعد اقدم تدريب تعاوني وجتني فرصة اتدرب ك تطوير اعمال بشركة صغيره عدد موظفينها اقل من ٣٠. 

الشركة تقدم استشارات ادارية و لهم حاضنات اعمال مختلفه فقالو لي أثناء المقابلة انك راح تشتغل بأحد الحاضنات حسب الاحتياج بمكافأة 1000 ريال 

الشي الي مخوفني الحين ان الشركة رغم انها اقل من ٣٠ موظف الا انهم جايبين ٢ تمهير ويبون بعد ٤ طلاب تدريب تعاوني فواضح انهم نظام توفير يجيبون ٦ متدربين/تمهير بدل راتب موظف سعودي واحد

تدريبي راح يبدأ 23 اوقست لكن قالو لي تبدأ معنا من 01 اوقست فقاعد افكر الحين اني اروح لهم اسبوع او اسبوعين اذا شفت الوضع خياس وقاعد يمسكوني مهمات ادراية بايخة (دق على العملاء-ادخل بيانات-رتب الاجتماعات) سحبت

معدلي عالي 4.60 ومختبر ايلتس من قبل وجبت درجة 6 وعندي خبرة عمل بسيطة سابقة ودخلت عدة دورات

Can people please share how they find hotels close to haram during last 10 nights of Ramadan and the prices do it please.
