Not sure if I talked about this before, but in Saudi most westerners live in compounds.
The compounds are usually fully surrounded by walls with barb wire on top. There are guards at every gate checking cars and ID's of the passengers. This is done for security reasons.
At first it was quite intimidating, but after a while we got use to it and it just felt natural.
I will say that I have never felt unsafe living in Saudi. In fact, I feel quite safe.
Our beautiful oasis of a compound!
I must say, having drivers is quite handy!
Having an extra set of hands to carry kids or groceries is nice...
This is our Friday driver, Mr Muhammed Muneer.
