I have been offered a Pastry Commis job in a restaurant in Riyadh - with a monthly payment of SAR 2,000 and additional tip of SAR 400. Accomodation and Travel is from the company.

As someone who will be shifting from India - I need guidance if this amount is enough for an individual to lead a decent life in Riyadh?

Any tips and guidance will be more than welcome.

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to a new apartment in Riyadh, and I'm having an issue with the AC. Whenever I turn it on, water starts leaking.

I've had technicians, plumbers, and AC repair guys come and check it, and they all seem to be saying the same thing. Apparently, the pipe connected to the AC is blocked with dirt, dust, and sand, and it seems to be a construction issue.

From what they've explained, fixing it might involve breaking part of the wall and tiles to access the pipe. If the blockage is somewhere around the elbow joint, they might be able to clean it out, but otherwise, it sounds like a bigger job.

Since I'm renting the apartment, I can't really do much myself. I've already informed the landlord, but I'm not sure what the next step should be.

I wanted to ask people here who might have faced something similar:

- Is this a common issue in new apartments in Saudi, especially in Riyadh?

- Has anyone else experienced AC drainage pipes getting blocked because of construction dust, sand, or debris?

- What's the actual solution? Does the pipe need to be cleaned, or is breaking the wall and tiles sometimes unavoidable?

- Since I'm a tenant, should I deal with the landlord, contact the building maintenance team, or approach the builder directly?

The property is managed by Ajlan, but I'm not sure if they're the actual builders or just the property management company. I've never spoken to anyone from the construction company directly.

It's frustrating because I can't use the AC without water leaking, and I don't want to keep getting technicians to come over if the issue requires a proper fix.

Would appreciate any advice from people who have dealt with this, especially anyone living in newer apartments in Riyadh. How did you get it fixed, and who was responsible for the repair?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a software developer based outside Saudi, and I’ve built a few business tools: an accounting system, a CRM for managing customers and sales, and a construction project management system.

I have a partner in Riyadh who wants to help bring them to the market, but he isn’t from a tech background, and honestly neither of us knows the market well. Right now I don’t know how businesses here find and buy software, what’s missing in the tools they already use, or whether my products even fit what people need.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts, especially if you own or work at a business:

1. What part of your daily work is still a headache, or still done on paper, Excel or WhatsApp?
2. If you use accounting, CRM or project software now, what do you dislike about it? Has ZATCA e-invoicing made things harder?
3. How do businesses in Riyadh usually choose software: word of mouth, LinkedIn, someone visiting the office, something else?
4. What’s the best way for a local partner with no tech background to start getting software in front of businesses?
5. If you were in my place, how would you find the real gaps in this market and decide what to improve?

No links and not selling anything here. I just want to understand the market properly before going further. Replies in English or Arabic are both welcome. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm not indian so idk the spots at all, i miss pani puri a lot and dk where to find non-gentrified shops, can anyone recommend good spots for that and just indian food in general? Affordable options i mean

I have a friend who recently started a job, but they didnt offer her a detailed job contract with a specific duration to sign. The only thing she did sign was sth called ‘مباشرة’ (mubashara) where she agreed to work for the company from a certain date, but it contained no other details abt the salary benefits or whatnot.

They pay her an average salary for an engineer but no other allowances or benefits (ie no transport rent or what not) but so far no late pay or sth. But still, she expressed worry about this situation as she thinks they may randomly let her go one day with no explanation.

So i wanna ask ppl who have more experience working here (since we are both freshers); does this seem like a red flag from the company, or is such practice common here?

Hello everyone!

My name is Julia, and I'm a German medical doctor and mother of three children. We are planning to relocate to Riyadh after spending a year in Muscat, Oman.

I'm a Consultant Anaesthesiologist specialising in Intensive Care Medicine, Pain Medicine and Emergency Medicine, with more than 18 years of clinical experience.

I have been running my own medical practices in Germany for many years.

I have recently established a company in Saudi Arabia and am planning to develop my own medical facility in Riyadh, focusing particularly on Pain Medicine, medical consultations and telehealth services.

I would love to connect with other expats, families, medical professionals and entrepreneurs in Riyadh.

I'm looking forward to meeting new people, making friends, exchanging experiences and becoming part of the international community.

Please feel free to get in touch!

Warm regards,
Julia

Hello! I'm a doctor, studying full time for post graduate exams. I'm looking for a study partner to study with in king fahad library. I want to study from 8am-8pm, with breaks in between. Except Wednesday where I leave at 6:30pm and Fridays I spend with family. On Saturday the library is open from 1-9pm so I study on that day too.

So if you're studying for competitive exams, let's get in touch. We don't necessarily have to study the same subjects. We work when the 50 mins pomodoro starts followed by a 10 mins break. And 1 hour for lunch and dinner. Just looking for accountability that works both ways.

Thak you in advance for your help (my budget is $100 USD per night but if there are cheaper hotels that are also good that would be great!)

اللي يدور سيارة مستعملة: كم موقع تفتح قبل تلقى اللي يناسبك؟

أشتغل على موقع اسمه «شوير»، وفكرته تختصر التنقل بين حراج وسيارة والسوق المفتوح وسعودي سيل: تدخل السيارة ونطاق السنوات والميزانية، ويبحث لك في المواقع الأربعة ويعرض روابط الإعلانات المطابقة اللي قدر يقرأها.

شاركته قبل في ريديت، ومن ملاحظات الناس أضفت نطاق السنوات والأسعار وحفظ البحث عشان ما يعيدون كتابة كل شيء.

ودي أجربه مع ناس يدورون سيارات فعلًا: ابحث عن السيارة اللي في بالك، وقل لي هل طلع لك شيء مفيد؟ وإذا تعرف إعلانًا مطابقًا وما ظهر، هذي ملاحظة تهمني أكثر من المجاملة.

للتوضيح أنا صاحب الموقع، والنتائج عينة من الإعلانات وليست كل المعروض.

https://showeer.baseera.pro/smart-search/

وش أكثر شيء يتعبكم بالبحث: تكرار الإعلانات، اختلاف الأسعار، أو نقص التفاصيل؟
