Riyadh, a thriving city of approximately 7 million people,
offers varied and intense work and social experiences. Three
large, tertiary-care referral hospitals are located in
Riyadh. All the embassies with their cultural and social
events are located in Riyadh. And for an expatriate nurse,
doctor or therapist living far from home, Riyadh has many
other compounds which house expatriates from England,
France, Germany, Australia, US, etc., who are working in
other industries and who are also missing home. These large
numbers of foreigners have organized activities such as
Hash Harriers, social clubs and athletic clubs
which welcome newcomers.
