I would like make some friends with Saudi local women. But they are all covered up even with their faces. I don't know how to start a conversation. Today I went to a small park for a walk and saw a few woman sat together. Their kids were playing around. They were very quiet. I really wanted to say "Hello" to them, but dare not start. I was not sure if it was OK or polite to talk to them. So I hasted and walked around the little park many times but didn't say anything.

I am not a Saudi but I know well about thir culture. It's absolutely alright for females to approach other females (locals too) and say "Hello". Without any hesitation, give it a shot and you'll notice they are delighted to see you approach.

I suggest go give them a broad and honest smile and ask "English?". If you get a negative, waive an adieu and move on

I appreciate your reply and advice. Thank you very much. I'll try to take the first step by saying "Hello" next time when I walk in the little park.

By the way, where are you from? How long have you been in Riyadh? Your knowledge of Arabic culture is very helpful for us new expats here. Are there any culture exchange groups in Riyadh? I wish I could join one of them.

I've always found Saudi women to be very friendly but it's difficult to form serious friendships because they have so many family obligations.

But don't be afraid!聽 TLL's suggestions are excellent.

Hello there,
Nice to join this forum

I've 1 question and I'm desperate for an answer,
My British wife is living with me in Saudi Arabia,

I'm her sponsor for sure,
We want to invite her 18 yrs old daughter for a visit to Saudi Arabia to stay with us for 3 months something..

Are we able to do that since my wife's daughter is 18 yrs+ now?
she doesn't have a brother/husband/"Mihram" , will this be a problem?

shall I do this invitation or shall my wife do this herself ?

Thank you !

Your answer is "visit visa" that you have to apply coz you'll be sponsor of your step-daughter.

Mehram thing is not applicable in this case; so don't you worry.

If possible, talk to your company HR, they must assist in this regard.

HRGuru is right.

The company who sponsor you will provide you details of the 'visit visa' requirements since they will (usually) process this for you.

I think you should say "TLL" is right, I just endorsed what he said.

Regards,
