Sports and clubs in Saudi Arabia
(golf, snooker, swimming, tennis, billiards, bowling, basketball, gym..)

Posted on Oct 10, 2008 8:11 PM by
There are gyms for women in Saudi Arabia, but the options are less compared to men. All the Hotel sports clubs in Saudi Arabia are open exclusive to men. Members are offered different time periods ranging from a period of 1 month to 1 year. As the registration charges keep fluctuating, it’s wise to check with the respective hotel regarding the current rate and special offers before making a decision.

  1. Posting sports club with "shisha" is like promoting smoking and clean air!

    Shisha kills, be aware! It's worse than ten cigarettes @ once!

  15. I have been living in riyadh for 4 years now and have 2 little girls. My problem is that I can't find any sports clubs that provide swimming lessons or any other kind of sports facilities for women and girls. No matter how much I ask and search the only answers I get are the manahil club and one or two others exclusively in the DQ area. This is very frustrating as I live very far away and do not have the time nor the luxury of a private driver. Does anyone know of any other facilities elsewhere? I live near exit 8.
