Making business in Riyadh was easy. But meeting true friends is hard. I found them on InterNations, where the global minds meet.
InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Riyadh
Hello to all Americans in Riyadh! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Riyadh? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Riyadh which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: Riyadh is growing fast. The Saudi capital is a bustling city known for its economic importance in the country and region, status as a major finance center, major development, and much more! With the comprehensive road network, taxi and Uber services, various bus lines, and a metro set to open in 2020, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the less central areas popular with expats, which are just a short drive away from Riyadh’s center.
Although Riyadh has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Riyadh, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Without the help of all the expats on InterNations it would not have been able to settle in Riyadh that fast. Thanks to the community.
