    Hello:

    I am thinking about taking a work assignment in Jubail. Along with the stiff prohibitions (no booze, porn or pork), does this mean the dating life will be non-existent as well?

    Thanks.

    Pretty much i think you can forget about local girls. Go to Manama, Bahrain for the weekend, that could save you.

    Pav is absolutely correct...

    For your own sake... Don't even try it.

    Go to Bahrain or Dubai for the weekends... You'll have more trouble in Saudi than you can possibly imagine if you try to date a local.

    (If it sounds like the voice of experience.... that's because it is)

    What about other ex-pats? I take it there are no foreign women in Jubail to meet? Sounds rough...

    Other expat women will include nurses at the hospital, maids in private homes, and possibly school teachers from many places.

    In Saudi, however, ALL women are on a curfew, and ... quite simply .... are no allowed to 'date'.

    Jubail is quite small. The are other expats but you can't really date other expats, because it's just like this. It's Saudi. Ryiadh is a little bit different from what i heard but it's a big city.

    About arab girls (coming from own experience) you can date, Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, Egyptian, Iraqi when they are expats themselves but khaleeji... ayy povrecito...

    Let's put it simple. KSA has many advantages business wise. It's big and it's populated. But when it comes to dating... Let's say you met that nice Jordanian that you want to take out to the movies in Jubail... wait movie theaters were banned 30 years ago... and then you realise you can hardly take her out at all because it's forbidden for un-related men and women to mix in public places. Jubail is small. And KSA is conservative. Keep that in mind

    hey ppl ... for the love of god if you have no idea, it's ok to say I don't know xD

    you ask about booze, porn, and pork

    you think you already know that even children here have internet connection, so the porn issue is solved :p

    pork, yes, you just have to find your way inside a compound ( Aramco ... ) you will have no trouble getting there, as you will already live there I guess

    booze, ...... you can get that inside the compound as well , but in case you didn't, you need to know some local people, it's easier than you think ;)

    about dating, I guess that the only thing you can't have, .....so bringing a girle to your house is much much easier, but for the sake of it just go to Bahrain
    it's only 2 hours away from Jubail

    need anything else, mail me :)

    Sure were in 1990-91....

    Spent my nine months there with the Marines. Jubail seemed to be one of the more conservative towns in the Kingdom. But the foreign workers could get one pretty much any contraban that you might want for you. Just don't try their homemade booze if you value your vision.
