102 had something to say:
hi pink tarha!!!..i need your help URGENT!!!..
my name is missy and i have a friend who will have her bridal shower next week..we (her friends) decided to designate things (like two were assigned with food etc..)..
i want to surprise her by providing the bridal souvenirs for the guests and i dont have any idea what to buy..and worst where to buy??..
it doesnt need to be expensive because honestly i also dont have money..haha..
please help me!!!..thanks much..
Hi Missy! Wow, with the use of exclamation points in your comment, this really appears as URGENT. Haha. Thanks for dropping by our blog.
Re: your question on bridal shower souvenirs, honestly, we haven't been to one (as far as we can think of) but it would be interesting to give away underwear to the ladies, not just the bride. Hahaha. La Senza and La Vie en Rose have them on sale. Also lip glosses or lip balms. H&M has on sale glosses now for as low as 3 riyals. Oh, and earrings too (around SR10 each). For other items like small figurines or mugs or home stuff, try visiting Riyalin. There's one near Peking Restaurant in the Military Hospital area and one in Dabab St. They sell a lot of stuff that we can't think of anything specific to buy. Go there and you'll see lots of things that can serve as souvenirs. Camel Corner has cool souvenirs that are Saudi Arabia-themed. Carpet bookmarks, mirrors, and shawls might work.
Those are our suggestions. Hope you find the souvenirs that you are looking for. Have fun in the bridal shower. :)
Hi Pink Tarha!..... I find your website helpful, fun and interesting...just want to know if you know a snow globe supplier in riyadh?....
Hi! We don't know of any show globe supplier in Riyadh. However, you might want to get in touch with Mr. Isam of Camel Corner. He sells snow globe souvenirs so you might want to inquire re: suppliers. Thanks for reading The Pink Tarha!
Details of Camel Corner here: http://www.thepinktarha.com/2012/08/camel-corner.html
Hi! It was nice that I came across your blog. I understand that you're in Riyadh..but can you please do an article about TAIF? I'm curious about that place. Thanks a lot :)
Hi Eliezza! Unfortunately, we haven't been to Taif so we don't want to write about something we haven't seen personally. Maybe one day, we'll travel to Taif. But for now, we're stuck in Riyadh. :P
Hi, pink tarha!
I came about ur blog while searching about pinoys in riyadh. My husband just arrived there one month ago. We were wondering, perhaps you could advise where he could buy food supplements or vitamins for his health as it is more expensive sending one from here to there. Thanks for your time. More power :D
@Abbie: He can check out Whites Pharmacy which we wrote about here: http://www.thepinktarha.com/2012/10/whats-in-whites-12.html. Try GNC also. It has branches in Granada Mall, Tamimi in Thalateen, and inside Panda in Takhasussi. Most pharmacies with lots of branches all over Riyadh like Al-Saggaf have multivitamins. Just ask the pharmacists for recommendation. :) Hope your husband finds supplements and vitamins that are suitable for him. Thank you for dropping by The Pink Tarha. :)
Hi Pink Tarha!...Do you know any shop selling anime wigs for kids?
Thanks.
Hi Pink Tarha!,.....Do you know any shop selling anime wig for kids?
Thanks.
Hi Anonymous, sorry, we don't know any. Have your tried the toy stores in Riyadh though? Like Hamley's or Toys R Us?
hello! happy to discover your blog =D saw your blog sa balitang middle east.. pwedeng mg tanong about kng wer mka bili ng dry ice dito sa riyadh?
im working at elite med cnter, fronting localizer mall. and i red ur article about localizer and their shops inside. =D
Hi Pink Tarha,
I would like to ask if I will be permitted to bring my multi vitamins and other health self-use products in riyadh? I'm afraid that it will cause issues in the airport.
Thank you.
@Anonymous: We haven't used dry ice here in Riyadh so we don't know where to get it. :/
@Frances: Yes, you can bring multi-vitamins. For other medicines that you need to take for self-medication, just bring your doctor's prescription just to be sure.
Hi Pink Tarha..... I'm looking for natural oil for skin like grapeseed oil or safflower oil...any idea where you can buy natural oil?
Thanks

Hi there P.T ladies!! :D
I Live in RYD and I'm searching for these kind of snow globes for dayz now :( but no hope,can anyone help mw where to find these kind of snow globes, the snow globe should have a couple just like in the pics below,
http://slimages.macys.com/is/image/MCY/products/2/optimized/1372292_fpx.tif?op_sharpen=1
http://www.nycwebstore.com/images/products/snowglobes/TWK-1631016_lg.jpg
Hello Adi,
Unfortunately, the only snow globes that we saw are that of Camel Corner which has camels and the iconic buildings of Saudi in them. We haven't seen snow globes with couples inside. Have you tried the riyalins (2 riyal stores) all over Riyadh?
Hello ladies...I came thru ur site while surfing for beauty salons in Riyadh. I landed here last month....I have been searching for Loreal Hair Spa Kit since, as I forgot to bring one I had back home. Would you pls pls tell me where I can find it.
One more thing, I am in search of wooden folding screen or room dividers for our new apartment, I searched Ikea website but they dont have one, do u have any idea which stores can I get it??
Thank u guys
hi there...i came across your blog by chance...
i found it very intriguing...well done
i am 24 years old and i lived all my life with my family in jeddah...i will be moving to riyadh alone soon for work and i find it very intimidating cuz thats the first time for me to visit it, let alone live and work alone!!anyway i hope i can depend on u guys for a lil advice and some help once i move in...ill just be needing info about places and stuff....thx in advance
@Renu: For the L'Oreal kit, you can try visiting the huge hypermarkets in Riyadh like Hyper Panda, Tamimi, or Lulu. If you still can't find it there, try Whites Pharmacy. If you can't really find it in those stores, try seeking alternatives to your hair products in Nazih Trading Inc. It has branches along Olaya Road and in Hayat and Al-Qasr malls. :)
As for the wooden folding screens or room dividers, try the Home Centre of Centrepoint. There's a huge branch of it in King Abdullah Road and in Exit 10. :)
@G.G: Thank you for reading The Pink Tarha! You can always message or email us for your questions and we'll try our best to answer them. Good luck on your move to Riyadh and we wish you the best. :) - thepinktarha@gmail.com
Hello, I would like to ask you if you know any centers or people that offer Cross-Stitching lessons in Riyadh ().. Thanks in advance =)
Hello Pink Tarha ladies. I just came across your blog two days ago and I genuinely like it! Although I've lived in Riyadh before (living elsewhere for a while now) I have not went around much or knew many people. Glad I can find a resourceful site like yours. Keep it up! =]
Also, I have a question: Do you happen to know an affordable dental/orthodontics place/practitioners? Thanks in advance!
Hello Pink Tarha ladies. Great site.
Do you happen to know any hair salons that specialize in or know how to work with black hair? No need for extensions or wigs.
Thanks in advance!
@Anonymous 8:56PM: Sorry, we don't any cross-stitching lessons here in Riyadh.
@Anonymous 8:17AM: We're not sure about "affordable" dental centers because most fees are covered by our insurance. But if you're on the lookout for Filipino dentists, try Dr. Delfin Federico in Mawiya Clinic in the Kuwaiti Housing in Dabab Street or Dra. Josephine in Fahd Dental 3 in Takhasussi Street.
@Anonymous 9:39PM: Are you going to have your hair colored? Four Nail Spa and Salon in the Amenities Center of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital has a hair color specialist. :)
pink tarha ladies...911 please !!!!
i am going to dubai for 9 days.
i want to ask if i am elligible for a visa on arrival to dubai airport.
i am a general nurse and it is declared in my iqama with ministry of health, ksa as my sponsor. i try to call the visa section +96614881227 but always failed to get attended. its the machine playing and playing.
need your expert information.
@Anonymous 11:01AM: We are not experts on visa matters. The entry/post on How To Go to the UAE is based on our experience. Based on what we know (and what we know is not the exact rule), nurses can be given a visa-on-arrival.
Hi Mam
I am Indian National working as an engineer n Saudi. an my Iqama profession is Civil Engineering Draftsman.
and i am planning to visit Dubai with my family on next month on the way to India. please let me know can i get on arrival visa for me and family?
thanks In advance
sameer
Ma'am..
COuld u pls let me know the exact location of your store in Riyadh??
Hi Gifty, sorry but we are not a store.
@Anonymous 5:39PM: Hello! Thanks for visiting The Pink Tarha blog. I'm not sure if you are eligible but a "draftsman" as your profession in your iqama might not be considered as a high profession, thus you cannot get a visa-on-arrival. If your iqama states that you are a "civil engineer", you might have a better chance in getting it. But this is only our opinion. For specific answers, you can ask the UAE Embassy or any travel agency.
I am a Saudi resident ( Proffefion on passport is civil engineer) holding Saudi Iqama with my family
What as if I enter UAE with my family and go out of the country leaving my family there for two weeks
Q1 Is it possible
Q2 Do I have to go again to take them back to Saudi or they can come out of uae to saudi themselves
Hi Mudassir, what is your nationality? Anyway, if you go to the UAE with your family, our understanding is that you have to leave the country with them because the immigration officers will still check your visas before you leave.
You can visit this site for more details: http://www.emirates.org/visa.html
I am a saudi resident with family all having seperate Iqamas in my sponsorship . I have a saudi visa of Civil Engineer
I want to Visit UAE with my family and leave my family ther for two weeks
Q1 Is is allowable
Q2 Is it possible for the family to leave UAE without myself for Saudi arabia or I must be there with them while leaving UAE
Dear Sir
I am Indian National working in Saudi. an my Iqama profession is Marketing Expert.
and i am planning to visit Dubai with my family on next month on the way to India. please let me know can i get on arrival visa for me and family?
thanks In advance
Sartaj
@Anonymous 9:42AM: Unfortunately, we do not work for the UAE embassy or any accredited travel agency. We do not know what professions are eligible for visa-on-arrival except for high professions like doctors and engineers. Kindly call the UAE Embassy or Emirates Holidays office for your questions.
Also, we are ladies, not "sirs"... :) Thank you. :)
can a women along with children travel from jeddah to dubai without husband. whats is the procedure for the visa. women is dependent on husband aqama. do they get their visa on reaching dubai or has to get it before.
@Anonymous 10:50PM: If you are a dependent of your husband, he should travel with you to be able to secure a visa-on-arrival. If he can't travel with you, you need to get a tourist/visit visa first from any authorized travel agency in the UAE.
For more information, kindly visit our entry on how to visit the UAE from KSA (or you can also contact Emirates Holidays):

@Anonymous 8:35PM: Thank you! We're glad we helped you. Thanks for reading The Pink Tarha. :)
@Anonymous 9:57PM: You can try The Good Ship Lollipop in Tahlia Street. http://www.thepinktarha.com/2013/06/partying-with-good-ship-lollipop.html
Or you can also check out the numerous Abu RIyalin stores in the city. Good luck! :)

hello po meron po ba kayong alam na nag rurush ng passport?
@Anonymous 12:22AM: No, we don't offer CISCO training. As a matter of fact, we don't offer any trainings at all. Haha! lease direct your queries to other organizations in Riyadh. Thanks!
@Luel: Emailed you our recommendations already.
@Anonymous 1:20PM: Sorry, we only know of the Philippine Embassy.
I want order some balloons and other decoration please send me your contact number.
@Shuaib: We are not a party supplies shop. Kindly check out The Good Ship Lollipop which we featured here: http://www.thepinktarha.com/2013/06/partying-with-good-ship-lollipop.html
Contact details and location of the store is in the entry also.
Hello Pink Tarha!!!

Pwede po ba malaman exact location sa pagrenew passport sa industrial city sa sabado.thankz
@Anonymous 5:25PM: It's in DAAWA Islamic Center in Industrial City 2 as per this advisory: http://philembassy-riyadh.org/index.php/consular-advisories-updates/item/2081-pr-191-2013
Hi, Pink Tarha! Let me just say that I was glad to have this site which was founded by a KABABAYAN and I fervently hope you can help me. You see, we will be celebrating our son's 1st birthday in a couple of weeks. we just relocated to a new home and we haven't got a table big enough for a party nor chairs! Since it is no longer practical for me buy this many, where in Riyadh can I rent some?
Please help ASAP....
Best regards,
Joanne
@Julian: Hello! Thanks for reading The Pink Tarha. Party supplies can usually be found and rented in Good Ship Lollipop in Tahlia Street. It's the only thing that's on top of my mind right now. Also, if you have your food catered, the caterer usually brings tables and chairs if you request them to.
Details on Good Ship Lollipop: http://www.thepinktarha.com/2013/06/partying-with-good-ship-lollipop.html
Hello!
I've read your blog Re: Epic Curio. Such an awesome place! I just wish that there exist a store in the Philippines..hayy....
I would like to know if you manage to see Daler Rowney Calli inks? I did see that they're selling FW Pearlescent liquid Acrylic ink but wasn't sure if I saw a Daler Rowney Calli ink in 1 of your pictures. How much does the strathmore calligraphy paper and the FW Pearlescent liquid Acrylic ink costs?
Thanks!
Hi Aris!
Thank you for reading our blog. We're not sure about the product you're looking for in Curio. But you can visit their Instagram as they feature a lot of their products there. And if you can't see what you're looking for, you can comment and ask them about it. They reply. :)

Hello Urgent Help Needed !!!,
I have been offered a job in Riyadh as web designer on a salary of 2500SAR(Basic)+ accomodation (by company)+Transportation(company provided)+Medical(Company provided). Can i be able to survive on this salary? can i bring my wife and live with her comfortably in this salary? will i be able to afford a car (used car on finance/Installments) for myself? I have a decent lifestyle.
Hope to get your answers soon and please comment the answers.
Thanks
Hello Anonymous 10:19PM: Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you will be able to live comfortably in this salary if you're not really into other stuff. Will you be given a family status? 2,500 as basic is a bit of a stretch when you're bringing your wife also. But you can manage if you're really thrifty.
Hi,
My name is sam. Thanks for replying my question about living on 2500SAR in riyadh. I live a decent life and not into any other stuff. Just bit of shopping sometimes and i crave for good food. Yes i will be given a family status.Only one thing remained unanswered, will i be able to afford a car (used car or new car on finance/Installments) for myself? Honda Civic is my preferred choice.
Thanks...
Hi Sam! A used car will probably be possible but a new car will be impossible to get, even in installment, with that salary. Banks will not approve it. A minimum of SR3,500 salary is needed to secure a car loan.
Hi Sam here again...Thanks alot for that fast reply.....just one more thing, will i be able to get that used car on installments? And about the license, i don't have my home country license, will i be able to get saudi license?...hope i am not bothering you...sorry for taking so much of your time and bothering you...thanks again for your reply...i love your site...Thanks alot
Hi,
I'm Egyptian used to live in korea. I used to take home with me the ginseng root slices, teabags and capsules. Do you know where i can find any in Riyadh?
Hello ,
I would like to order some Souvenir . about 1000 and I want the first Purchase after 2 week with no less than 200 Pieces , is it possible ??
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4uJOujOFuIc/UCYKZ0NtrQI/AAAAAAAAByY/PI72x7DHGnY/s1600/Camel+Corner+9.jpg
bou the design for something else not Riyadh city
for more details contact me please
Hi there! I just wanna ask.. I'm applying kasi as a nurse there in KSA.. Pero in your opinion, saan kaya mas magandang tumira and mag-work? Dammam, Riyadh, or Jeddah? Hehe. Thanks a lot!! :)
@Sam: Sorry for the very late reply. I wasn't able to see this comment immediately. It depends on where you buy the used car but most would probably require the full payment immediately but don't quote us on it (we don't drive so we're not the best ones to ask about cars, haha!). You can get a driver's license here and when you do, arm yourself with patience. Thanks for reading the blog! :)
@Anonymous 5:20PM: You can try the Korean Store we featured in the blog. You can use the Search tab in the sidebar. Thanks.
@Huda's Arts: Kindly get in touch with Camel Corner at www.facebook.com/camelcorner.
@Anonymous 6:21PM: It depends on where you think you can adjust well. Dammam is like the laidback province among the three while Riyadh is the city with stricter rules. Jeddah is both; it's a city with a vibe of rural life. I'm pretty biased because I like Riyadh best but Jeddah is the most popular choice. :)
Hi, hope you are doing fine. my name is zeeshan and i am from india living in riyadh, soon i'll be getting married here. Can you please advise me on how much money will be required for a decent marriage hall or hotel in riyadh? and how much it would be costing me for dinner reception?..Not so lavish and not so cheap but a decent one.
Thanks in advance.
Hey ladies ,
Which is the best place to buy good gold ornaments , need to gift one for my wife back in india.
Thanks
Hi Girls . I would recommend Batha Or Suwailem street for souvenirs.You would find great items for cheap price . By the way you need to update your info about gyms in Riyadh .
new lang po ako sa riyadh. im anne female 23 saan po ba malapit na salon sa gawi namin...dito po ako work sa al buhaira ata to lumilitaw sa gps hihi...nurse in palace po ako... saka pahelp naman po kasi ung driver namin di nag eenglish...
1.what po sasabihin ko pagtatawagan ko para magpahatid sa pupuntahan ko..
at kapag magpapasundo...
2nd ok lang po ba maglibot sa king abdullah park kahit wala pa iqama? pwede khit xerox ng passport po ipakita? ganun din sa riyadh zoo, ok lang din? or my muttawah na sisita po sa akin..
3rd saan pa po ba may magandang libutan dito sa riyadh..
hihihi grabe lang po no, bago lang sa riyadh gusto gala agad hihihi...
wait ko po reply niyo...thanks
@pinknurse: No idea where Al Buhaira is exactly so not sure what salon to suggest and recommend that is near your place. You can go to Red Carpet or Heads Up near the Military Hospital if you want (Mushtashfa Askari in Arabic). As for your other questions, yes, you can visit those places. However, I suggest that you wait for your iqama to be issued because with the labor situation in the Kingdom nowadays, police and labor officers checking randomly do not accept a photocopy of passport. You need to show your iqama.
Hi,
We've sent you an e-mail on 13Feb, but no reply :(
@Anonymous: Hello, what's it about? Checked our Feb 13 emails and I replied to them. Kindly resend them please. :)
hi pink tarha!
i need your suggestions/recommendations/ideas. my daughter will celebrate her 2nd year on May. u know some cozy places to hold the event but not too costly. i hate isteraha by the way. thanks
@Anonymous 11:04AM: Try the amusement park of Riyadh Gallery. it has a function hall where kids can have their parties. Also Abcarino in Takhasussi and Chuck E' Cheese in Olaya.
Hi po Pink Tarha, saan po pa makakabili ng mga damit pang pasalubong?
Salamat po ng marami, at ang blog nyu po the best! d---0.o---b
@Anonymous 7:38AM: Hello po. Thank you for reading The Pink Tarha. Clothes can be bought anywhere! Haha! Especially during the sales season. Anyway, it depends on the brand that you want to bring home. American Eagle and H&M have affordable clothes. But if you're not into brands then you can check out the Haram Centers. There's a huge one along Olaya Street near Riyadh Gallery.
salamat po sa rply Pink. ay, gusto ko po sana yung may riyadh, o saudi arabia. kasi may nakita ako ewan ko kung saan yun,hehehe. ang papangit naman ng quality eh :) gusto ko sana medyo maganda naman
:D
I was wondering, as a single woman, how to do you make friends in Saudi, and what types of things can you do to hang out? I know shopping is an option but what else? I'll be coming over as a nanny so inviting friends over isn't an option for me. Thanks, B
You can buy souvenir shirts from here: http://www.thepinktarha.com/2012/08/camel-corner.html Not too many designs and choices though but I can't think of any where else. :)
thank you so much ate pink :) more power. d---0.o---b
Can someone tell me where can I buy a not too expensive jewelry with ruby stone on an 18 k or 21 k gold? This I will buy for my mother.
hello po Ate pink, kasi po pumunta kami kanina, di kami pinapasok ng guard eh, sabi kung ma kakilala daw po kami sa loob, :( pwede nyu po ba kami matulungan ate, salamat po ng marami. plz, gusto ko po ng snow globe :)
@Anonymous 10:12PM: Try their branch in Deira (near the clock tower).
thank you po ate pink :D try namin. d---0.o---b
Hello Pink Tarha, i reached your blog accidentally while I'm doing random browsing of abayas and stuff. Glad to know someone like you who's willing to answer queries of your kababayans like me. You see, my second husband (we are not yet married but we have two (2) kids) will be arriving there at Al-Qassim by next week to work as a Dentist. He is planning to take me and our kids with him maybe a year after or as soon as he could make an arrangement with his employer. My question is, will it be possible that i can be approved an entry there even if we are not married? thank you and hoping to hear from you soon . . . .
Hi Hazel! You need a marriage certificate to process your dependent visa. Even for your partner, he needs a marriage certificate to apply for a family status in Saudi Arabia. Thanks for reading The Pink Tarha! :)
hello ask ko lng sana kung saan makakabili ng yarn at pang gantsilyo here sa riyadh..as in madami pag pipilian na colors... thanks
hi ladies of pink tarha.....pls i need your URGENT ANSWER!!!!!!!!THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!
I am ICA of riyadh. i just want to ask regarding my husband's situation. His former employer died last year and im so worried because maybe we cannot get COE stamped by the chamber of commerce. do you think the chamber of commerce will stamp his COE even if signed by another person? do you think they already proccesed all the necessary documents in that long period of time? thank you
hello ask ko lang po saan nakakabili ng mga yarns and hookspang crochet po thanks
hii pink tarha,

Hi Pink Tarha,
May i ask where can find ipanema and grenda stores in Riyadh? My husband will take a vacation in June and thinking flip flops and sandals for pasalubong. But until now he cannot find athe stores. thanks in advance ��
hi Ladies. i'm assuming you have bought some luxury bags in KSA. i was wondering if you were taxed at the NAIA? i guess you would use it and pass it as old but i'm a guy planning to buy a bag for my wife. i was thinking of putting it inside my handcarry(a backpack). Shouldn't be a problem right?
lastly and perhaps via email, would you girls know if indeed luxury bags are cheaper here compared to pinas?
thanks and more power.
Hi girls,
Please tell me if you know - there is any bazar in Riyadh for handmade staff?
Thank you. Mariya.
Hi Pink tarha... It's nice to know there is a website for women here in saudi arabia.. Maybe you could help me to find any filipino dressmaker that can make a wedding dress for me.

Hey PT! :)
I have been on the search for Baby Lips by Maybelline. I tried the whites pharmacy near exit 10 (Abdullah St.) and I could only find one colour :/
Do you know any stores that have a good range of them (in terms of colour)? :)
Dear readers, so sorry for not being able to answer your questions immediately. I’m trying my best to keep up.
@Catherine: There are a lot of Filipino designers here in Riyadh. If you go to Olaya and visit the dress shops there, you’ll surely find one. However, we do not know anyone personally so we can’t recommend. Good luck on your wedding and congratulations!
@Anonymous 12:59AM: Sir, gaya po ng nabanggit n’yo, hindi po kami connected sa embassy at POLO/OWWA pero maaari po siguro ninyong kausapin ang agency sa Pilipinas na nagpaalis sa inyo dahil kahit na po napaalis na po nila kayo, hindi po doon nagtatapos ang kanilang responsibilidad sa inyo. Sa amin din pong pagkakaalam, kung hindi po natapos ang kontrata ninyo, babayaran n’yo po lahat ng binayaran sa agency at pati na rin po ang ticket noong pumunta po kayo ng Saudi. Ang embassy po talaga ang mas nakakaalam ng labor laws. Pasensya na po. Umaasa po kami na magiging maayos ang inyong lagay at sitwasyon. Salamat po.
@Anonymous 2:17AM: Try the other Whites Pharmacy or the MAybelline kiosks at leading hypermarkets like Panda and Danube.
