Teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia: Your free time in KSA
Ace here, 5 year expat, published author and ESL teacher. I get a lot of questions on my you tube channel about teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia. Check my video here:

A lot of people ask "What did you do on your free time?". With all the cultural restrictions this is a good question. Well...there's not a lot to do as you can imagine. I made some good friends while there, so usually we would just hang out in our rooms together or go to the mall to get a coffee or maybe get some food. When we were in Riyadh there were some pretty nice shopping malls and places to eat, so we would go there sometimes. Some westerns restaurants in Riyadh were Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, Chillies and Mcdonalds and that's just to name a few. Oh and there was Star Bucks which was a favorite of mine. Taxis in Saudi are super cheap so getting around was really easy. There was western grocery store called Carfour that we would frequent as well. There was a bookstore in Riyadh that sold English books, so we would go there a lot to. Living in Riyadh did have a lot of perks. As you can see Teaching ESL in Saudi Arabia took a lot of ajusting to, but it wasn't all bad!
