There is no bar at the compound. You cannot have or find alcohol in Saudi.



If you are married life is a little better over there. If you are not forget about social life there



That's not completely accurate. While there may be no bar at the compound, some "personnel" receive class six rations and if you are well acquainted they just may share. There are also home produced beverages of quite acceptable quality. Which means, you won't go blind or visit the emergency room. Please don't ask how I know.

Also, I did my share of dating there. If you're in Jeddah, get into diving or some beach activity. There are no theaters, restaurants segregate single males from everyone else. Some days a single male can't enter a mall. Be resourceful and keep your ears open. You'll have a blast. There are plenty of western teachers and medical staff running around.

Drive with your number in a sign and show every random girl like the locals?


About the alcohol, stay away still the best bet

Negative, I did say "western teachers and medical staff". That is a move local juveniles pull and I take is as an insult.

Your choice, more of a good time for everyone else.
