Say “YES” to expatriate compound events
Expatriate compound events are the easiest and fastest way to build a flourishing network in Riyadh. Compound events can offer you a rewarding social experience bound within the relaxed walls of your gated community and are the best way to book up your free time to communicate and interact with the diversified groups of expats within your residential compound. These events can vary from parties to special clubs, fitness programs to sporting events, and plenty more. We believe that compound events are a great way of forging beautiful bonds and relationships with your neighboring expats of the community.
Here at Al Nakhla our events team organize regular events and gatherings. Selected events are open to guests of residents and even anyone outside of the compound – looking to make friends and have a good time.
