good day from sunny saudi. well as a ground instructor in ksa not a fly boy type but here go,s
your lady friend will not be able to share your villa with you a strict no no
the situation re ladies hasnt changed much over the past 15 years they still have to wear the abya when out of the compound but not full face just to hide the main body, some wear hats .i am up in the mountains about 2.5 hrs from jeddah so its a little relaxed compaired to jedd / riy. / dah.
now depending on what your lady do,s for a living eg nurse etc then yes she can pop over for the odd evening /weekend as mine do,s
please fell free to pm me if you want any other info.
hope this helps.
