It was my first time there, and I can see they’ve been working to improve it but it is still far from being acceptable.

As you said, it’s empty compared Halfmoon, and I like that because I’m not a fan of big crowds. Plus, it’s only half-an-hour drive from Hofuf so that makes it easier when you suddenly feel you want to see the sea without much thinking or preparation.

Mansour: Ogair used to be a main seaport on the Gulf but it is no longer used.

It’s still dilapidated looking but, I haven’t been there since last year so it may have undergone another face-lift.

The only advantage is how empty it is as compared to Halfmoon. I was dying to know where my modest friend (Saudi, not ex-pat) acquired the tan-lines across her shoulders and that’s when she let the location of her secret abaya-free swimming spot out- Ogair, after fajr, mid-week.
