Lucky Bones Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Didn't open the video clip. Was too bizzy on my calculator (not enuff zeros.) Is a trillion bigger or smaller than a gazillion?

IMO other than visitors on Haj they have basically nothing to make money from, except dates and suchlike. They could make money from tourism as beautiful country with many historical sights, but they didn't allow western tourists ( other than those working there ) when I was there. I worked there for years, so some idea of what it's like. Visited the historical town of Diryah, where the buildings are made of mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirirya holds fond memories. Likewise the camels trail (1 &2) up the escarpment. Have thought about returning someday to see how vastly different it is now.

Visit Saudi Arabia website Didn't have a camel trail when I was there. I always wanted to ride a camel, but no one in Riyadh I knew of did or had any to ride. I went to the camel market, but they were being sold to eat. I went to every place the social club put on trips to. One of the most interesting was Graffiti Rock.

Would not have called it medieval by any choice of words. Restrictive, perhaps. However, being part of a large expat community and with sources, provided all that one could desire. Pork, Bacon was always in the house c/o the US Commissary. Wine was easily made by fermenting grape juice, beer was a little bit harder. However "Blue Ribbon" introduced "Malt" in a can and was available the new supermarkets at the time. Best years of my fomative life.

According to the article you link to, the author did NOT ride a camel on the trail, went in a car and had a walk. She says nothing about camels still using the trail, and I'd be surprised if there were. Excellent social club. Did hundreds of trips with them.
