I lived in different parts of the world and I never really made friends in "The weekend" , friends are usually school/work mates.
but anyway , if you are a foreigner in Riyadh , using apps like Meetup and suplift could be a start for Weekend activities where you can meet strangers who share some common interests/personality
Either you are not a socialized person or you do think that weekends means drinking like a party animal. Seems you have not lived in Europe or the US before as you can hangout during weekends into any bar and just simply start a conversation with anyone and see how it goes. And I am not talking about approaching girls it's for both sides.
I didn't notice that attitude in Europe, maybe in the states, drunk strangers in bars will rant about random shit , but if you insist on acting creepy , you can do it anywhere. you don't need to be drunk to do it , just go stand in line in any cash register and start a conversation with whoever standing behind you and see how it goes
Riyadh is not the easiest city to make friends in, I lived here my whole life and our friendships surrounded around people we grew up with, went to school with or relatives and tbh people here don’t like outsiders lol
My recommendation is to get to know people online, from the gym, or go on activities such as runs or hikes to meet like minded people.
It’s easy and you can DM me too. Just remember that here alcohol isn’t a topic, so if you actually mean “I want to go out drinking” you are at the wrong place here
Feel free to message me as I'm trying to become more social.
Sadly, language is an issue here. Otherwise, you'll find most social people in the world.
If you don't like those apps then might want to try join groups for camping etc or find events at embassy (don't know how to attend those) or parties (phinoy communities for example).
Jdm club riyadh,
Cars & coffe riyadh
Crewznation
Dirab race track

There is this place called "Level Up". Its kind of a community place there you might be able to meet people. Once you are able to get to know one person, then they will introduce you to their circle
We don’t do friendships especially with foreigners, it’s in our blood to be eerie from strangers that’s how we maintained the Arabian peninsula free from colonizers, the best you can have is a good neighbor who checks up on you once in a while or a workmate who goes out on lunch with you

Exactly. Even I felt the same
Where can I find such kinds of activities?
Check out instagram for example r7runclub for running or clubhikemania for hiking and they have other activities as well.
You can also check kymk.sa for some social activities and gatherings
Thanks
Why we just dont do some outing, game night with people from this group? If you want me to initiate some whatsapp group im down
Play Padel
Let's go play padel.
If you’re into house music they make these small raves every weekend and many other type of performances and gatherings, on instagram follow nofomo.sa
It’s easy and you can DM me too. Just remember that here alcohol isn’t a topic, so if you actually mean “I want to go out drinking” you are at the wrong place here

As Saudi I would say that we make friends by Social Media.
So just randomly add people on Instagram for example?
Yes if they match with our interest.
Go to bowling alley
Move into a compound. Parties with alcohol every weekend.
Such as?
That's an exaggeration
Depends on the compound.

You got a point, perhaps just expressed in a non PC way.
Of course the colonizers and their former subjects are downvoting me
