Buraidah Al Qassim (Riyadh)

Hi all,

I am moving to Al Qassim shortly and was wondering if anyone had information about the area, things to do etc..? It's my first time in Saudi and I am moving with my wife from the Netherlands.

I see it's a bit away from Riyadh so not sure if I'll be able to participate in activities unless I travel down at weekends but that would only be once in a while I would think.

Also I would love to know peoples thoughts on buying a car and driving in Saudi.
Thanks in advance for your advice and help.
