Tenants Decide From Abroad
Expat families and corporate HR teams often choose a compound before anyone lands in Riyadh. Without a way to look around remotely, a strong compound can lose out to one that is easier to picture.

Why Compound Leasing Stalls Before the First Viewing
Compound leasing in Riyadh is won or lost long before a prospect walks through the gate.
02
Photos Hide Layout and Scale
Photos and brochures show finishes, not flow. Prospects cannot tell how rooms connect, how big a garden feels or how far the pool is, so questions pile up and decisions slow down.
03
Viewings That Never Convert
Leasing teams spend hours walking prospects through homes that were never the right fit. Every wasted viewing is time taken away from corporate accounts and serious families who are ready to sign.
Compound Virtual Tour in Riyadh: What Manzili Delivered
In March and April 2025 Manzili captured 17 Matterport 3D tours at Andorra Village: one home of every type, the Andorra Hotel, five pools and the community center. Andorra's team then put the tours to work across its sales and marketing.
01
A Villa Virtual Tour for Every Home Type
Prospects can walk through one home of each of Andorra's eight types, from the 1-bedroom Vivant A apartment at 65 m² to the 5-bedroom Mansio. Short-stay guests can step into the Andorra Hotel's lobby and rooms. Everyone sees how rooms connect and which layout fits before they visit.
- Five villa types, including two 4-bedroom villas and the 5-bedroom Mansio
- Three Vivant apartments, from 65 m² to 136 m²
- The Andorra Hotel lobby and its Standard and Deluxe rooms
02
A Compound Amenities Tour: Pools and Community Center
For many families the compound matters as much as the home. Manzili toured five of Andorra's pools, from the Olympic pool to the Main/Lagoon pool, plus the community center and its fitness area, so prospects can see where they will swim, train and unwind.
- The Olympic, Main/Lagoon and Key pools
- The SE pool and the Jacuzzi pool
- The community center and its fitness area
03
Tours Used Wherever Tenants Decide
Andorra used the tours across its whole leasing journey: on its website and property pages, in WhatsApp and email follow-ups, in packs for corporate HR teams, on social media and in the leasing office. Every prospect sees the same homes, wherever and whenever they are deciding.
- Website, property pages and social media
- WhatsApp and email follow-ups after inquiries

Compound Virtual Tours: Common Questions
How much does a 3D virtual tour of a compound cost?
Cost depends on how many home types, pools and amenities you want toured, how large each space is and where the tours will be used. Manzili reviews your homes and amenities with you first, then quotes for that exact scope, so you only pay for the spaces that help you lease.
How long does a compound virtual tour shoot take?
It depends on how many homes, pools and amenities are in scope. Each home type is captured once, in one representative home, and shared facilities can often be covered in the same site visits. Manzili agrees the shoot schedule and the go-live date with your team before any work starts.
Will a virtual tour shoot disturb our residents?
Disruption is kept to a minimum. Home-type tours are normally captured in a vacant or show home, so no occupied home is entered. Pools and other shared areas can be scanned at quiet hours agreed with your management team, and shoots are planned so that residents do not appear in the tours.
Where can we use a Matterport tour in Saudi Arabia?
Anywhere you can share a link. Andorra Village uses its Matterport tours on its website and property pages, in WhatsApp and email follow-ups, in corporate HR packs, on social media and in the leasing office. The tours open in a web browser on phone or desktop, so prospects need no special app.
How do virtual tours help expat compound marketing and corporate leasing?
Expat families and HR teams often choose a home before anyone can visit Riyadh. A 3D tour lets them walk each room, check the layout and see the pools and amenities from anywhere, at any hour. HR teams can share the same tour with relocating employees, which makes corporate leasing decisions easier to agree.
Can virtual tours reduce wasted viewings?
They can. Prospects who have already walked a home online know its layout and size before they book a visit. Those who are not a fit can rule themselves out early, and those who do book arrive with fewer open questions, so your leasing team spends more of its time on serious prospects.
