I've been to Saudi albeit Riyadh Airport. Nothing to report apart from the airline staff doing a head count. :wink:

I worked in Saudi for a couple of years, been inside Mecca city limits too, not bad for a non muslim. It's not such a bad place, in fact the land although dusty and dry, is very beautiful.

What are the tourist attractions,has it a disney :Erm:

[Steve.r]

There is this place in Jeddah. https://www.halaltrip.com/attraction-details/414/atallah-happy-land-park/

We used to drive past it when we drove along the Corniche on the edge of the Red Sea. Beck then, it was called The Atallah Happy Land for Men, it seems the name has changed now.

[Tawi2]

Halal food AND prayer facilities,its certainly selling it to me :icon_lol: if i wasnt saving for a trip to easternisland it would be on my bucket list :smile:

[Steve.r]

I found a photo from my days there, just to prove the name. It always made me chuckle.
