Jeddah – Day 3
Hmm… we’ve had a few busy days in a row, so let’s take it a little slower today. What really happens is that we’ve been wasting our day by sitting in the hotel, doing some laundry, and looking up some beaches to go to and swim. That last part has been unsuccessful… There seems to…

Jeddah – Day 2
Today we have no real plans, in the sense that our plan is just to aimlessly walk around our neighbourhood. Since we don’t plan on entering anything, I’ll let my partner wear shorts. It’s hot out, and we will be walking around a lot. Let’s go! Today we will pretend to be architects and explain…

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – Day 1
So after a busy day yesterday, let’s try to take it a little calmer. Calmer, but not with any less walking, you’ll see. So, what are we going to do? Well, Saudi Arabia is trying to make a name for itself in the tourism industry and is taking a page out of Dubai’s playbook by…

Travel Day
Well, well, well, where to go today? Let’s try going from the Arabian Gulf to the Red Sea? Sounds like a plan! We take one last look out the window and then head down to our Uber. We couldn’t find any information about public transit to the airport, unfortunately. The drive out to the airport…

Dammam (Saudi Arabia) – Day 1
Well… we weren’t originally going to stay in Dammam today, but the prices to our next destination were a little lower if we wait an extra day (even taking into consideration an extra hotel night), the hotel is nice, and we (my partner) would benefit from a little “rest day”. So, what can we do? Well……

Travel Day
Today we leave Manama! Where to? Back to Saudi Arabia! We plan on crossing the causeway again, so let’s see how that goes this time. But first, let’s take our last look at the Manama skyline. It’s been a short but very, very busy time in Bahrain. Even you, dear reader, had a lot to…

Travel Day
Well, the day has come to leave Riyadh behind. You’d think that that would mean leaving Saudi Arabia behind, but we’re not ready to leave just yet. However, that being said, we don’t know what we will do today or where we will end up. Let me explain… We have a train ticket to Dammam…

Riyadh – Day 7
So, you thought we were stretched on what to do in Riyadh the past few days? Today is a whole other level. Our ticket to leave is tomorrow, and we can’t just sit around all day… so….? We did a bit of foreshadowing yesterday, we said we had gone north and south, and then we…

Riyadh – Day 6
What to do, what to do? Well, we’re not sure. It’s our second last day in Riyadh, so we have to make it count. It’s a bit of a lie that “we’re not sure”. We know what to do, but you’ll see the problem in a second. So we head off from the hotel through…

Riyadh – Day 5
Well… we have run out of “big” ideas of things to do. Originally we were going to leave early today, but our method of transportation (cryptic, huh?) didn’t have any tickets available for the next few days, so we will be in Riyadh a bit longer. Let’s see what we can get up to! So,…
