Looking for a roommate

Hi guys,

Me and my friend are looking for a third roommate to share our apartment in Al Yasmin (North Riyadh).

It’s a 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

The rent per person is SAR 16,000 per year, paid as SAR 8,000 every 6 months (annual contract).

The location is honestly great close to everything (supermarkets, coffee shops, main roads, fitness time etc.), and the area is quiet and nice.

We’re both working guys, chill and respectful, and we’re just looking for someone clean and easy to live with.

We have a great kitchen we like to cook healthy meals sometimes in and chill in the living room.

If you’re interested, DM me and we can share more details 👍

I'm new here and looking through car, or generally, insurance companies. I am looking for one that would make most of my process as digital as possible. Like I want to buy my policies, renew them, and manage everything online if that's available.

I looked into tree, but I want more options before comitting if possible.

Hi all!

I'm really hoping someone can help or give advice. I'm new to Riyadh from the UK.

I just moved into a new apartment in Al Malqa (North Riyadh) and I’m facing an issue. The street traffic noise from the main road is incredibly loud and disruptive. I generally don't mind noise, but my wife is extremely sensitive to it and she hasn’t moved to Riyadh yet.

When I was viewing apartments, this was something I was careful about but unfortunately (and naively) I could only view apartments during the day and the issue of the noise is more at night. During the day it's much less.

I am honestly panicking because I know this level of noise will be completely unbearable for her and will ruin her transition here.

I checked all 3 bedrooms, and they all have the exact same issue. The setup is a standard modern black aluminum sliding window/door system with a deep drywall/gypsum recess and marble floors, which seems to just bounce the sound around.

Since it's an Ejar contract, I can't do major destructive renovations or replace the windows entirely, but I need a serious drop in decibels (dB) before she arrives.

I’m looking into solutions and currently arrived at Secondary Glazing (plexi with some magnetic frame) to create an airtight buffer.

I would love your advice on a few things:

Has anyone in Riyadh successfully soundproofed standard aluminum sliding windows against heavy traffic rumbles? What worked best for you?

Are there any local glass, aluminum, or acoustic companies in North Riyadh (or nearby areas like As Sahafah/Al Aqiq) that you recommend for installing secondary window frames inside the recess?

Any specific recommendations for heavy-duty acoustic/blackout curtains or weather-stripping tape that actually blocks sound (not just wind) available locally or on Amazon KSA?

I have a few weeks before she arrives and the apartment is empty, so I want to get this sorted out immediately.

Any company names, contact numbers, or DIY tips would quite literally save my sanity.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a hospital or medical center in Riyadh where I can get evaluated for ADHD. I’ve been reading about the symptoms, and a lot of them seem to match what I’ve been experiencing. I’d like to get a proper assessment instead of trying to diagnose myself.
Does anyone know of a good public hospital or private clinic with a psychiatrist who assesses adults for ADHD? I’d also appreciate it if you could share your experience with the assessment process or recommend a doctor.

Hi everyone

Looking for board gamers to start a weekly Friday group in North Riyadh, near Khurais Rd. I play a lot but never end up with a consistent crew, it's always different people each time. You don't need to be experienced or professional, new players are welcome, just committed to showing up most Fridays (not a one-time thing).

First session: tomorrow (Friday) at 6 PM.

The gaming center is letting us play there for free with their board games every week, so let's keep the space clean and tidy out of respect. Grabbing a drink or snack from them is appreciated but totally optional.

DM me if you're interested

Location of the gaming centre:

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to meet other girls who play instruments and might be interested in casual jam sessions.

I play guitar (mostly metal and rock), but I'm open to pretty much any genre as long as it's fun and everyone's there to enjoy making music together. You definitely don't have to be a professional. I'm just hoping to find people who enjoy playing and want to improve, learn new songs, or just hang out and jam.

If you're interested, comment below or send me a DM! I'd love to connect and see if we click musically.

(I'm based in Riyadh, so ideally looking for people nearby.)

Thank youuu

Hi everyone,

I'm a software engineer from Iraq (Kurdish Sunni) and I'm thinking about moving to Saudi Arabia and, if possible, making it my long-term home and make hijrah.

My background is mainly in backend development, AI, and security. I've worked with Go, Python, Laravel, React, and AI technologies, and I've been involved in building production backend systems and AI-powered applications.

I'd like to hear from people who are already working in Saudi Arabia.

• Is my background likely to be competitive for software engineering jobs there?
• How difficult is it to get hired directly from Iraq and have a company sponsor the visa?
• Is there anything I should know before I start applying?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences, especially from people who have moved to Saudi Arabia for tech jobs.

Thank you
