Saudi Arabia: Canadian expats:

I was wondering if there was a few expat from Canada with a family. I have been told that there was different types of compounds. Is that true? Ones with hardly any activities and others with everything-store, markets,schools, bowling alleys, cinema .. Is it very difficult for teenagers to adapt ? Thank you for answering my questions It is greatly appreciated! Have a great day Natasha

Saudi Arabia: Moving a family to Riyadh:

Hi We are still undecided if we want to move to Riyadh with our children boy 14 and girl 11. We would live in a western compound and most probably leave within 8 months from now. We are from canada and our cultures are so different from The middle eastern ways. I am worried about how my children would adapt to the culture especially my daughter. How is it to live in a compound with teenagers? What should i know? Will my daughter have to wear a scarf in the compound? Will we be able to find a French speaking teacher to teach high school topics? I have no information on how the education system works and how much it costs? Can someone Give me some feedback about my questions Thank you
