That happened when for a brief moment, I worked for saudi tv (would you believe it? it was a cooking show though, about 12 years ago)out of Damman and when I went to Riyad with my director/producer/cameraman (after all, the ‘big money’was kept in the Riyad studios) for a piece, I certainly covered up every bit of hair that wanted to escape. So, since I am over 40 (ahem), does that mean I could travel unaccompanied?? Wouldn’t mind a visit down memory lane..lol..

Eating out and malls are coming up prettyy fast. the corniche is another attractions. art galleries…oh god, why did i have to leave jeddah.

also, i am sure there is a market for tourism where people wouldnt mind all these restrictions.
