I think to an extent we are very spoiled. We have the most beautiful coral aside from the great barrier reef. Historical artifacts preserved such as Maden Saleh. And as for the south, all you need is good company, and a some good tea.

concerning the tourism point. I was thinking the same thing. Really, what’s here that’s worth seeing except for the two holy mosques??
since I’m married to a cop, spending a vacation abroad is hard. yup, we have the money, but we don’t have the permission to leave. my husband’s superior who quit a few months ago thank god, said that those privates are a bunch of spoiled kids who have no sense of patriotism and that they have no right to leave the country because everything they want is here. they, out of all people, should support tourism in ksa.
the ironic thing is, he can’t handle the weather here himself and tends to travel a lot
I went to Abha last year, and even the malls which Lou K mentioned are almost non-existent. there’s only one or two family restaurants. the hotels are too expensive and I wish they deserved the amount of money people had to pay.
the so called green mountain resort or whatever cost a lot to enter, and there was nothing worth seeing there.
the price of everything is almost doubled. yup, the greenery and the rain were worth the trouble, but where should we go at night?
the famous habalah cable cars takes you to this small dining place which you’d finish checking in 10 minutes, and then, you get bored and you wanna go back.

Jeddah is loads and loads worse. what’s there to see? sea areas blocked by walls? or the famous musk lake? or maybe to know what sewage would smell like…

that’s all I have to say
