Desert Sights In Saudi Arabia


There are many things to see in Saudi Arabia, the 100 meter tall sand dunes in the Empty Quarter, the brightly colored sandstone cliffs around Tabuk, the oasis at Disa, and the many large cities.  Even the people themselves are interesting.  The women still veil themselves with the black Abaya and the men wear the white Thobe and the red and white checked Ghutra.

On this page I have placed photos from all of the above, plus a few unique things that you will not see anywhere else in the world.  Some of them will make you laugh, and a few will make you shake your head.

Enjoy!!

These are some photos of an area near where I live.  It is called Disa.  It looks very similar to Arizona,
and is the only place I have seen where there are large quantities of fresh water.  In the photo on the far right, the ground is usually flooded in the winter.  It makes for a fun 4X4 offroad experience!
 

Here is a shot of me with my chariot,
the Toyota Landcruiser.  The only way to ride here!

This is an old truck that we found in the desert.
It looks like the one from the old television show "The Waltons".
 
 

More photos to come soon!!!!!!!!!!
