Today I received an email advising me of where I am going to be living when I arrive in Saudi.
So seem as you need a permit to take photos around the hospital I found some pictures online so thought I'd post them.
This is an aerial view of the hospital grounds - so you can see how big the place is.
This is the apartment complex that I will be living in. They are really nice inside from memory.
And as you can see the pool is lovely - but its not very deep so its usually like a warm bath, but there is another pool not far away.
This is another view of the complex
As it is even harder to take pictures outside of the hospital (without getting arrested) I found these also. This is one of the two high rise buildings in Riyadh - Kingdom Tower. It is a shopping centre and office block. You can actually get tickets to walk along the bridge at the top. There is a "ladies only" floor where you can take off your abaya if you wish and you can even try on clothes (which is not allowed any where else)
Some shops will let you take the clothes to the toilet and try them on or just take them back if they are not right.
This is the other high rise building - shopping center/offices. The dome at the top is a restaurant.
This is inside the dome restaurant - best to go on a clear day when you can see the view (of the desert!!!)
So these are just a few photos - I will try my best to get more.
Inshallah .... (god willing - the favorite saying in the gulf)
