Lonely Planet describe The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as 'the last great forbidden kingdom'. It looks like I'll be blogging from there soon, at least for a few months when I start a role in Riyadh.
There's obviously a lot of negatives to dwell on and it's not top of many peoples holiday destinations but there's plenty to see. Madain Saleh (the 'Saudi Petra'), the souqs and dive sites of Jeddah and the mud skyscrapers of Wadi Hadramawt. Rest assured I'll be making the best of being there and intend to travel as much as possible over the winter months.
Good luck Clive, sounds very exciting. Look forward to seeing your photos. Lesley x
