 | Saudi Arabia Things To Do | Tips 1 - 10 of 179 |  |
You must see the people in Ssudi Arabia. They are a very hospitable bunch of people and sometimes while I was in Starbucks if it was quiet. I would say hello to some of the woman. Some are a little shy and some do not mind talking to you at all. One day my friend Petula went to order our drinks and while I waited, I said hello to two young Saudi girls on their own. The more I talked them the more I was interested in them as people. Petula became interested too and we all chatted for quite some time about life and life in general for both expats and Saudi's (particuarly females) alike. The girls were only young and had just started their teritary education, they were sisters as we were the only four in the shop, they removed their veils and started to tell us what they were studying and how they entertained themselves in such a restrictive place.
Saudi is a melting pot filled with many different cultures and it doesn't hurt to say hello to anyone while out in the shops. One Saudi lady and I had a laugh together once in a Bookshop over this funny quote book with cute artwork. Some people can be quite rude or eye you up wanting a date handing you a little bit of paper with their phone number and name on it. It is sad but true and if you do not believe me have a read of October 2003's edition of National Geographic. I have included the link to the article below for you to read....
It is very accurate although some things are a little different in the city of Khobar but the concept is still the same!!!! Stay away from anyone wanting this kind of activity. Leave a Comment

 Nice night view by kenyneo
It houses collections of traditional dress and crafts, a traditional diwan or sitting room with an open courtyard and a working well. It was extensively renovated in the 1980's and is now devoted to Abdul Aziz and his unification of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
If you look close enough , there is a hole on the wooden door , from a spear thrown by the enemy...

 its a Cursed City of Tombs
..now thats scary by kenyneo
one of the most interesting archeological site of Saudi Arabia the Madain Saleh tomb is built by the Nabatean people .. who also built Petra in Jordan. . The Nabataeans became rich through their control of the incense route and their charging caravans tolls of up to 25%.
The tomb is more well preserved than Petra because the rock is harder than those in Petra. . The immense stone tombs which have made it famous were carved between 100BC and AD100 and the city itself was the second city in the Nabataean empire, after Petra in modern-day Jordan.
Great deal of bureaucratic bother and hassle can be avoided by booking a tour through the Madinah Sheraton. Both the hotel and the airport are on the outskirts of the city and so are open to non-Muslims.
You really need a vehicle to get around Madain Salah, as the distances are large and the heat extreme.
The hotel's tour is a weekend one -- covering arrival at the hotel on Wednesday evening with a slide presentation. the price of around SR700 or SR750 includes the trip to the site, two nights at the hotel, all meals from dinner on Wednesday evening to lunch on Friday and airport transfers.
Normally the hotel needs three weeks to arrange the tour, which is for groups of 10 or more and which only operate when there are enough people Leave a Comment Address: it's about 330km (205mi) north of MedinaPhone: +966 4 823-30240Directions: it's about 330km (205mi) north of Medina - many of the roads aren't signposted.Other Contact: FAX +966 4 825-1628
