Nzingha's soapbox: Compound Living: "There are basically two types of compounds, those geared toward the Western expatriate community and those geared towards Muslims who are for the most part Arabs. There are some mixed compounds but since they don't provided segregated services for things like the pool it isn't for a very conservative Muslim family. There are problems for Muslims who live on some of the more open (read parties with alcohol and teenage dating ect) western orientated compounds. But for the most part on many of the compounds Muslims and Non Muslims live side by side enjoying a life that most in Saudi are not privy to."
