Women meeting

Good idea alexandra!

Harmonie.

That is a great idea Unfortunately, Jubail is too far away for me, but should you find yourself in Riyadh, drop me a line

yes i would be, i do travel a lot but will definately come along if i am home,
Maybe a coffee first to see what everyone is interested in doing.

well i will be leaving after one week for one week but when I'll come back inshallah we will arange to meet. even if we will be just 2
but for a coffee in jubail ... i think the only option is in the fanateer mall in that coffee shop for cinamon rolls:D
i used to go with some of my friends to shira. sunday and wednesday is open just for women so you don't have to wear the abaya inside and you can also go for a swim. it is in naheel beach. so may be we will meet there.
where is it better?
in the shyra is nice because it's much bigger and we can stay relax, but for the mothers with kids i think it will be hard to keep the kids from water bc i think the water is too cold for them now, but we could stay inside and let them play with the toys. anyway, you are not allow to bring any food or drink from home bc there are some stuffs like snacks inside. and you are not allowed to enter with mobile with camera. you can leave it in the lockers.
any other idea?

I have heard that there is a nice coffee shop also in the intercontinental, I wont be back until the 14th November and then only for a week, then will be off till after christmas, so maybe if we can set a date for the week of 15th November? i cant do sundays. I have been in the cinnamon bun place but its very small, so if we did get a crowd it may be a problem, maybe we should see the response and then decide the venue?
Where are you from and give me some of your background.
I am british, 52 years old have lived overseas for 27 years in many different countries. I have a 21 year old son studying in the uk.
Husband works for Chevron Phillips and I live in the Murjan village compound.

yes, i was thinking too about intercontinental but i don't know about the prices there and i want something affordable for everyone who wants to come. also the beach there is very nice...
i'm from romania,living in saudi for 3 years and half now.i'm muslim...

ok good point i have never been there so no idea on prices, lets see response then decide where would be a suitable venue for all to feel comfortable and relaxed to be able to make friends and make thier experience in saudi a positive one

Ok girls. What about we meet on 16th November 2011?
I put the date so all of us have enough time to plan for it.
What time it will be better for you? After 4?

I was thinking in the morning when the children are at school or it will be too hectic and noisy? How do the others feel?

well i like in the morning too but how do we get there?

driver or taxi

is there any one else who will come to the meeting?

I'm polish-canadian and I am coming to Jubail at the end of November, I will join you with pleasure, let's be in contact,
regards
Grace
my e-mail address.

well if is just "Bernex" for the meeting on 16 November, then i'll send u my details and the two of us can meet anytime.
"grazyna" let us know when you are here and it will be our pleasure to have you with us.
any new girl that wants to join us just let us now.

something else that i keep forgetting to post:
I saw there are some Saudis around too. Well if your wife knows English, they can joins us too. I know the social life in Jubail is bad even for Saudis so they're so welcome.

Unfortunately my wife  is not well in English

well I do meet with Saudi women that don't know at all English. So if she knows even just a little bit it's ok. which are of jubail do you live in?

Yes we live in jubail I will tell her  about you if she like to meet  I will tell you

Hi everyone.
I'm back in Jubail. So what about the meeting? Still just two persons?
What you think if we make a meeting in Khobar for women expat? So the women from Jubail, Dammam and Khobar can meet all. The boys too if they want to.

Ok girls, if you are still here, what about we meet for a billiard match? Or squash? I've got almost no idea how to play them but as long as we will have fun...
Anyone?

hii..
First of all i'd like to say welcome to Jubail Alexandra and i hope u can meet a new people and make a new frinds and love the place here in jubail..

i red what you wrote and i liked your Idea..
So if your searching for a good Cafe Shop in Al Khobar, there is one called " Jibney's " , it's specialized in Arabic Ice Cream and Arabian Cheese desserts.
and it's got a section for womens
Its for my Uncle,So if u like, i can arrange the place for all of you there and its the place where you can feel comfortable

and about Jubail, there is the Intercontinental hotel like what the other guys said..

Regards..
