Hi! Sophia...for compounds parties you need to be invited by someone you know...there are no tickets that you could buy...only option would be to go to nearest Bahrain which would definitely get crowded during new year's...

It's possible your embassy is having an event.  Why not contact them to find out?

The quality of the NY events here in Saudi might not be every1's cup of tea.
You guys are better off in Dubai. I wouldnt recommend Bahrain, as you would find many familiar faces..

HNY in advance!

In your bedroom :P

Thank you all for your suggestions. I don't have friends right now so i should forget the idea of compounds. But i'll not give up :) happy new year

You have your hubby so you won't be alone. Why not plan a special evening out to dinner?  Just the TWO of you since, you're newly married?  I think that's a nicer time than a loud party with people you don't even know.

Happy New Year!

It's a nice idea. Where can we go for dinner? Do you know any good restaurant? Thanks for your help Alliecat
