     It’s a restaurant, actually, specialized in traditional Saudi food.

   If every tanker truck in Saudia Arabia is that pretty, I need to get myself a passport! These pictures are beautiful, thank you for sharing them!

    Really really nice, Ahmad!

    If you ever quit blogging, you have got to pick up photography in its stead at the very least :)

    Ahmed,

    Could you please tell me what is in pic 8? I think I know at least two of these things.

      It is basil. In the Eastern Province, we call it mashmoom.

    This mashmom looks like Qat man. Do you know Qat? Once I saw it I said this man chews Qat.

    • Ahmed

      I know what Qat is but I have never seen it. This, however, is just mashmoom.

    Sorry for the crossposting but I was reading your blog entry on the first Saudi Blogcamp and that got me thinking…

    Were there any foreigners at the camp? There is a large number of expatriates in the country writing about their lives in the Kingdom, were they represented at all?

    What about the women? Any female attendees?
