How close-knit is the expat community in this area? How do I get involved with it?
Because of the strict religious rules that govern in Saudi Arabia, socializing between the sexes and unrelated people is restricted, but within the confines of the compounds that house expatriates the rules are more relaxed and the level of interaction depends on the individual.
