Where can I purchase probiotics? by mfleij
We've been hit with an awful bug and have been on antibiotics. They are wreaking havoc on our guts. Usually we include Udo's probiotics or Culturelle to prevent from the tummy upset, but I can't find anything like that here. Does ...
Thank you. I do the same. I purchase what I need and have everything shipped to mother from Walmart.com or Amazon.... and twice per year she boxes it all up and ships it. It's the only way I can afford to cloth all of my kids here! I wish ... Read More

Best place to go for Traditional Saudi food? by Full Monty
Nice to meet you, Ibrahim. I have a question; which, in your opinion, is the best place to go for traditional Saudi food? I'd like to know of a 'go to' place in Riyadh that accepts either single bachelors or families, is reasonably ...
As far as any other menu items, I say stick with the spicy beef burger. The chicken is the same standard as any other restaurant. The only things that are semi-tasty outside of the burgers are the onion rings (ask for them to be well done, they ... Read More

That actually sounds very delicious! Their burgers are pretty sizable. The beef is very fresh and cooked over fire. So it has a great taste. The spicy beef burger has the chilis in the beef patty, so the entire burger is spicy, not just a hot ... Read More

American man marrying a non muslim Saudi woman by corazon02
I am a 52 year old American man working in Riyadh. I met the most beautiful Saudi woman and have fallen madly in love with her. She is 25 and non muslim. What should I anticipate in order to marry her?
I know this is old and you may never read it, but I have to reply. I think this is probably just a super touchy subject for me, so it's probably just rubbing me the wrong way. All legal matters aside, being born to parents of a specific ... Read More
Spotify, Youtube, VPN's? by Mrktstrtmyhm
Hey all, Just curious about some computer related things in the KSA. Does anyone have Spotify, or any other free music program, that works in KSA? Does Youtube work? I heard the KSA was attempting to block it. Which brings up my last question. ...
I saw your home flag and got all happy! Anyway, I use SurfEasy. I pay $5 per month and use it on my laptop, my android phone and my husband's iphone. I use it for Netflix, Hulu and most of my internet searches that are blocked. I even keep ... Read More
Hash runners by wendycr
Hi...I have just landed in Riyadh, working at King Faisal Hospital. I believe I have read that there is a hash running group that heads off from near here into the desert- I am very interested in joining this but having trouble finding a contact. ...
I know this is old, but, Y'all, when I saw the post title I was like 'Hell naw! The Saudi Gov is probably peeping on you now. They don't have a secret 'codes' list for this stuff?!". Ha, y'all made my night. :lol: Read More
Where can I find an Indian grocery store in Riyadh? by mfleij
I am looking for cinnamon. Specifically, ceylon (Sri Lanka) cinnamon. We use copious amounts of cinnamon in our daily lives and everything here is cassia (Chinese) cinnamon. When consumed in these amounts it's not very healthy. I have checked ...
Thank you! I'll let you know if I find any. Read More

I've never heard of Batha. Can you tell me where it's located? Thanks! Sri Lanka (Ceylon) cinnamon looks very much like a round stick but the inside isn't smooth, it's kind of like what a cigar looks like when you cut into it. ... Read More

I know this is old (the OP) and I'm not sure exactly which type of supplements you are looking for, but I absolutely love iherb.com. They have the best rates for shipping and my orders always arrive very quickly. For the shipping address I ... Read More
