Saudi Arabia

Hmm, how to explain this country.  Think of the beach without the water.  Don’t get me wrong, there is water on the coast but not so much inland.  Water is delivered by truck to your house and maintained in a plastic container on the roof of your house.  I am sure in the cities they have water mains but can you imagine a well of water on your roof.  I am not sure of the capacity but will say the tanks are quite large.  Hot, dry, sandstorms, and hazy.  They do have very nice air conditioning.  What a marvelous invention for here anyway.  Interesting architecture, mostly block, stone, and concrete.  Painting and design vary which allows a variety of color and contrast to the area and buildings.  A little strict on entrance, so ensure you apply for your visa ahead of time.  You have to present your documents and passport with other items to a consulate of the country you are traveling from.  It is a interesting visit when you come, ensure you review laws, they can be very strict with punishment.  Especially traffic laws which could include jail or impounded car.
