How do I meet people in Jeddah?

"Expats living in Jeddah can join a variety of clubs and activities, such as sports clubs, book clubs, and language exchange groups. Expats can also meet people by attending events hosted by the local expat community, such as movie nights, potlucks, and game nights. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups to connect with other expats living in Jeddah," said a member in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
