What do people like (and dislike) about Khamis Mushayt?

"Expats and digital nomads living in Khamis Mushayt, often appreciate the city's relatively mild climate, with cooler temperatures compared to other parts of the country. They also enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, including the nearby Asir National Park, which offers opportunities for hiking and picnicking. The cost of living in Khamis Mushayt is generally lower than in larger cities like Riyadh or Jeddah, making it an affordable option for many expats. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the cultural differences and strict social norms in Khamis Mushayt challenging to adapt to. The city is conservative, and there are strict rules regarding dress codes and gender segregation in public spaces. Additionally, the availability of entertainment options and social activities is limited, which can lead to feelings of isolation for some expats. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken outside of professional settings. Finally, the city's infrastructure and public transportation options may not be as developed as in larger cities, which can make getting around more difficult for those without a car," wrote a member who made the move to Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia.
