AHLAN WA SAHLAN

Ahlan wa sahlan Arriyadh
Let the unknown beauty give you a brief survey of the suburbs Akariyah and Olaya in modern downtown Riyadh.
House of correct behaiviour and sense

Dira: Mutawa - Haus

Or shall we call it: House of fear or respect?
To be honest: You might feel a little bit strange when passing it between Fort Musmak and the great mosque.

Dira: old town / residential area

T H A N K S to the inhabitants of these houses who still keep alive the very few remaining traditional houses in Riyadh.
Dira's old residential area

Pros:"climate and sun, female compounds strictly forbidden for men :-))"
Cons:"You get a plastic bag wherever you buy even the smallest item"
In A Nutshell:"Restrictions are a challenge."

 How to contact the HASH ppl in Riyad?

 Could you refer me to a Hash group? I am new to Riyadh, with very few westeners in my company - so getting this referral will be difficult.

 I'm a Saudi .. and it is hard for me to understand that there are actually some people who love this awful city .. and you are one of the few westerns who talk good about "The Hiya'a" .. that's a bit strange .. are you being logical .. ?!
