You are reminded that existing policy at KAUST stipulates that social gatherings in public spaces or in accommodations are strictly forbiddenand penalties apply.
You may go and pick up a coffee from Starbucks or collect a takeaway order from restaurants in Discovery square, but you are required to head straight home afterwards. No loitering will be tolerated and penalties will apply.
Public spaces include Starbucks, Discovery Square, Harbor Walk, King Abdullah Monument Park, North Beach, Thuwal Park, and other open areas. If your route takes you through or past these areas, this is fine, but do not make a stop there.
