I'm ok with male or female native teacher and would prefer the British accent. So please let me know if you know someone who can help

Saudi Arabia: Moving to Riyadh:

Dear all, as far as I can see here in riyadh that walking in streets is not very common so generally you will have to use a car. All the compounds that I have seen doesn't have that much of facilties just gum, pool and a supermarket but not a shopping centers. Most of compounds I've seen are relatively small (10 to 20 buildings) few are larger.life in compounds is more suitable for western ladies as they can dress freely and have some walk and activities inside. appartments the rental is annual but you can pay on 2 installments without extra fees.most of the cases you will find restrictions on single status appartments and for ladies it looks impossible unless your employer has made the setting.if you want to rent an appartment by your own after arrival you have to have someone who speaks arabic as real estate agents probably will not know english and it's quite a headache to find one. Finally these information is according to my own experince and there could be some cases that I didn't meet.

Saudi Arabia: Moving to Riyadh to join my spouse(don't know what to expect):

You have 2 options to buy an abaya. One is from market (souq) and a good one is "Tiba" located at the intersection of olaya road with prince Nayef rd. And it has plenty of shops selling abayas. cost of abaya with scarf around 50$ +-10 but you have to join your husband as it's not allowed for men to go there as a single. the other option is to buy from any shopping mall and your husband can do that alone and cost varies from 50 or 60$ upto maybe 800$. Go for the cheapest as it's already good and the standard for almost everyone here.
