Write an entry Entries about this placeUntitled by FlashpackerI really liked it. I started in Jeddah which was quite humid and as you can imagine hot. Went to a great lebanese restaurant which had amongst other things brains, tongue etc on the menu. The locals were very accomodating and had an unexpected good sense of humour. After that Riyadh, it was amazing to be in a shopping mall when the call to pray goes out, literally all muslims must go to pray or else they will get taken my the relious police (muttawa). Every quite shop door way will be taken by people praying in the direction of mecca. The Kingdom tower dominates the skyline, a plane can fly through the gap at the top, unfortunately i was too knackered to go up there when i had a chance. Every hotel room has a sign on the ceiling telling you which way the holy city is. Stayed in the intercontinenial in Riyadh and it was absolutely first class. Its hot here but dry, the highest temperature hit 52 degree C! I then drove across country to Hofuf and finally Damman. Its more relaxed here and only a drive across the causeway to Bahrain where you can have a drink. Will be going back in the next few months and i want to explore further. A great interesting place. over 4 years agoIts a nabour country by althaidimost of the Kuwaiti family’s have a friend or one of their family’s there. over 5 years agoSee all 70 entries |
