Midwest? | The 30-floor, 267-meter tall Faisaliya tower |
Yes, if you ignore the traditional arabic dresses and the sometimes cryptical signs Riyadh is more of a midwestern city in the US than the capital of one of the oldest middle eastern countries. Large cars, large buildings, even larger roads, reckless drivers, enormous shopping malls, huge empty spaces outside and, frankly, very little to do. Dallas, Texas? No, welcome to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! |

I wanted to post a question but that link was not working. As an American woman traveling alone would there be any feasible way to go to Saudi Arabia? I have been researching online but seem to be running into a lot of dead ends.... | bigJ30 Wed Apr 11, 2007 11:26 UTC

I ate here yesterday night (April 2, 2006) and if this is the best Indian restaurant in town, look for another kind of cuisine. the palak paneer was leftover from lunch if not last week. |
