Compound Accommodation in Riyadh

Expert Info

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).

What about Residences at a Major Hotel?

I suggest to visit Al Bustan Village compound that has all the types of bedroom units available. It also has most western community and will be opening for residency in April 2013

Hi, Is there a compound that is geared more towards the single lifestyle in Riyadh. Nice pools and grounds and restaurant. Cheers

Hi Anonymous,

Most complexes come with a pool and nice grounds. I'd advise you to start by visiting compounds to get a feel for the place and see the types of people that live there.

For more information on housing in the city read the Expat Arrivals page of Accommodation in Riyadh.

Good luck.
