My kids played tennis outside at the school with air pollution masks on. Not the most comfortable, but it worked. The school has indoor basketball courts, a track, lap pool, soccer fields, etc. Great facilities all around. The Embassy has a pool, tennis courts, and baseball diamond, as well. - Sep 2020

Swimming lessons are common. One of the expatriate moms had a little soccer team for preschoolers when I was there. There are not a ton of quality kid activities. Music Together had classes which were good. We did a lot of playdates and playgroups. There are a few playgrounds that are ok. Nothing is Western quality for the most part. - Mar 2017
