Compound Accommodation in Riyadh

I will have 10 -12 expats coming to Riyadh for 3 to 6 months. I have been told that I am unlikely to find compound accommodation for this short period. Is this the case? What might be some alternatives?

It's true that demand for compound accommodation in Riyadh often outstrips supply, and most estate holders will want you to sign at least a year lease. That said, don't write the option off until you've put in the effort. If you have western expats coming, they will be much happier in a compound, which means they'll be more productive and will likely do a better job for you. That said, three to six months isn't exactly a huge amount of time, so perhaps you can find a nice accommodation in the Diplomatic Quarter of Riyadh (DQ).
