Activities for women in Khobar

Hi all,

I'm a British muslim who just moved to Khobar and I was wondering what there is
for women to do in Saudi Arabia as a past time? Are there all female gyms?
Swimming pools? Would I find women only halaqas or study circles in both English
and Arabic in the Khobar area?

I'm also looking to find a nice islamic community of expat sisters here who are
practising and like to have fun too to socialise with.

Thank you to anybody who can shed any light on this.

Hello daffodilz,

Welcome to Expat.com. Hope that your queries will be answered shortly.

Cheers,

Varushen.

hey there is a large community in khobar who share ur interests, i met a good group that came to visit in Al Hasa. u r sure to meet up with some good ppl.

asalaam daffodilz, how are you? im a muslim south african female, also would love to make other muslim female friends. hope your move here has been good.

Did u find any friends? Which side of Khobar do u live in?

This is a good question. I am considering going to Jubail / Alkhobar / Dhahran /Dammam for work (with my family). I am wondering if at least compounds might have exercise equipment.  How do women run there?   It seems against pc norms to run outdoors.

Hello there ashleyalamri,

Better you post on more recent threads of the Khobar forum as on this one the last post is from more than a year ago.

Best of luck,
Bhavna
