Amazing what people could build so many thousands of years ago. Mada'in Saleh is a huge complex.

Feel like splashing in that sea..right away!! :-)

Us Hijazis have a very special affinity with the sea. A 2500 km long tropical coastline along the beautiful Red Sea explains it very well. I miss that part of KSA myself very much.

You should check this thread out. Made it almost 2 years ago. Contains a lot of photos of Saudi Arabia's amazing coastline.

Exploring Saudi Arabia's marine wonderland

Anyway that's it for the beautiful and ancient lands of KSA for now.:coffee:

Some excellent photos of the proud Bedouins of the Rub' al-Khali. One of the most ancient of peoples. Some photos are 40-35 years old photos.

Amazing portraits.

It is said that Bedouin hospitality is second to none in this world. It is famed across the world and has been romanticized in movies, poems, songs etc. Both in the Arab world and elsewhere. They are sometimes blamed for some ills but by heart they are lovely people.

They are also one of the biggest survivors of this world that live in a very harsh environment. Their lifestyle is dying out but I hope that at least some will survive in let's say 50 years of time from now on.

Bedouins are also great musicians, story tellers, poets and artists. Also famed warriors. One of the best in history. They formed the backbone of many Islamic armies throughout the ages.
