A few Saudi Arabia pictures

Postby Chimborazo » Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:11 pm

I only took a very few because I didn't really want to attract attention to myself. I have some pics from the Kingdom Centre that I haven't gotten off my phone yet, but I'll post them when I do.

...they like Reggae in the desert, eh? Looks like Saudi Arabia has more to photograph than Bahrain.

What an unutterably naff plane interior: white leather and gilt. Euchhh.
Shes never interfered with me. I have no complaints about her.
Same here.
Mega ditto.
I met her once and I found her to be a nice lady. Not kookey in any way.
Penta has always been gracious, kind and very sane in all my interactions with her.

Most of the photos I took there were of friends, so not very interesting to anyone but me.

Saudi doesn't seem like a place that would put up with grafiti.

I had some shots of graffiti from Saudi, most of them were just boys trying to put their name or mobile number up for girls to notice, but there were some more artistic pieces, like this one saying "Remember God"

a really nice resteraunt, incindentally where Mohamad Ali and Malcolm X had dinner and reconciled after Malcolm's falling out with the NOI (Malcolm's infamous 'chickens coming home to roost' comment about JFK's death did not sit well with the NOI leadership):
