My husband will go along on such trips but I have to be the one to organize them! (LOL)

I do hope anyone with the interest can have the opportunity for such a trip.

Though I haven’t commented about any of your recent posts about your trip, I have been reading and looking at your pics every day. It looks like you had a great trip and very educational at the same time. Insh’Allah I hope when our family gets to Saudia we get the opportunity to go and do things such as this. I’m afraid though that my husband will just dump me and the kids with the female relatives,trying to figure a way to communicate,while he plays soccer with his male relatives and friends. Alhumdulillah,you are very fortunate to have a husband who enjoys doing these outings as much as you do and taking the time to do them with you! ; ) Thanks for the wonderful insight to Saudia history. Loved your pics!

I’m happy you’ve enjoyed the travelogue. Tomorrow it is back to bloggin’ as usual!

However I do endorse that anyone in the Kingdom should take advantage of any travel opportunities that may come their way. It seems like each area, region, village is unique unto itself and has something to offer and to see.

Cheers,
Carol

Your post is the next best thing to being there, and I’m thrilled that you were able to share your pictures with all of us. I wish I could find a way to get my own Saudi husband to travel around the Kingdom. It’s very unlikely, though, so I’ll drag my Jeddah buddy whose husband is just as difficult.

I hope you will return and I certainly will check out your blog…particularly since you mentioned the magic word kitties!

I stumbled across your blog searching for ‘cats’ in the WordPress tags and I’ve been reading with fascination for a while now. How wonderful to get a glimpse of this mysterious country from western eyes. I really like how you cover so many aspects of Saudi life. I admit the ‘what do women wear under the abaya?’ was particularly fascinating. It certainly puts a different light on the repressed Saudi woman. :o )
This is a great balanced look into Saudi life. You are doing a wonderful service by these postings. I love being an armchair traveler!
Come and visit me and meet my kitties on my blog: Blink of an eye
