Alexa, i understand what your saying I am currently in Al-Hamra in a 2 bed apartment paying around 110,000 which is nothing compared to what i've seen in Qatar but then again there's nowhere else to move. Simply put Riyadh is full to the brim.
The shopping malls are great here but i'd give my right arm to be able to get to a Cinema without having to apply for an exit visa :-)
Plus moving to Qatar gives me a Career upgrade. I don't expect the same level of luxuries but all I want is a nice sized house for the family and a secure communal area for kids to play. Gym would be a bonus. Can you give me any pointers which compounds may be suitable, you obviously know what we have here any recommendations that are realistic....? I have seen people mention compounds in other threads but there is no chance of even getting into them...or should I focus on a rented apartment in a serviced block...?
P.S. Rent is going up something stupid here as well in the last 12 months I have seen some places double in price.
