Saudi Arabia in Pictures

If only the KSA would secularize. It would be quite the tourist destination!

Yes, it's quite an beautiful place but bad legal system.

شو اسعار السيارات في الرياض؟ على اساس تكون مستعملة تمشيني اول فترة



Not necessarily, they can follow other models like the UAE or Jordan. It's a little too much conservative.

True. Things like tourists being able to drink and mingle with chicks is very important to attract tourism. What are the restrictions on alcohol like in Jordan btw? I think you can drink, to my knowledge, but I'm sure it's a little less free right? Kinda like whats been happening in Turkey?

I have seen Western tourists on beach resorts in Jeddah. I can even post a picture if you like. Besides I think that most people are not ready for mass tourism and it is not certain that many Westerners would flog to KSA (well probably) but what would be next? Opening Makkah and Madinah for non-Muslims? I am not sure if you are a Muslim but if not then you can travel to KSA just need to respect the Islamic rules (no alcohol, no bikinis in public etc.) People exaggerate it. It's not like you are going to be beheaded for the slightest of crimes or when just entering. Come on.

Besides many Europeans and Western people are racists towards Arabs in reality. They would probably not understand the customs, region, people etc. if the same lot who travels to Ibiza would travel to KSA, LOL.

That's true that they are racist. They would hold small inconveniences against Saudis just because of their double standards

Tourism is not necessarily bad. It could create jobs for people who need it. There is a lot of potential. The question is what kind of tourism, how much of it and when. Because sooner rather than later then some of the laws will be changed in this case the visa regulations etc. It is currently one of the most difficult countries to enter due to the travel restrictions. For example you would need a sponsor etc. Visas are normally not granted to women who travel alone etc.

Guys, I appreciate your talk and I appreciate your help to Blackeagle, Arabian Legend but let us stick to the thread. Also be aware that writing Arabic here is not allowed - I am talking through experience since I have received warnings for doing so. I don't want any of you to get banned.

You are very welcome, 7abibi. Some of the places are also not that known to some Saudis. After all the geopgrahical distances are quite huge in KSA.

Will post some more pictures as soon as I collect some so stay tuned.
