    I'd sooner go to Iran wearing a Trump t shirt

    None of those Arab states ever interested me. 50 degree dry heat and full of Mussies, alcohol restrictions, women dressed like post boxes and Teakdoor Wanker of the Decade nominees who have prostituted their working lives

    There was always alcohol available on the expat housing compounds in SA. They called it "Sadike" or something, illegally brewed spirits.

    Just about every family had a still back in the day.. I remember being shocked my dad went to the store to buy alcohol when home on vacations.

    Fishing trip as a kid. Ran into some squalls and I was one sick little kid..

    Would you go on holiday to Saudi Arabia-384965_10151083850741949_1115840366_sick-petey-saudin-jpg

    Body surfing day at Ras Tanurah beach..

    Fair enough. I agree it's a shit location for most holiday makers, but for some it may fit the bill.

    Personally, I'm now on holiday and I'm in Japan, not in Saudi.

    I remember reading in the currant bun a few years ago about some alcoholic moving to Qatar because the penalty for drinking alcohol was "death" (!).

    I thought at the time that's them fucked, because there was fuck all else to do in Qatar but drink.

    I never drank the Sidiqi. Our compound had some great beer brewers and wine makers. Under my stair case was always full of beer & wine.
    The US marines had fairly regular booze ups at the US embassy in Jeddah. Hundreds of expats would go, just had to put your name down in advance.

    I drank more in the time I lived in Jeddah than any other time of my life.

    great, so Saudi Arabia is a destination for those who want to have a serious drinking problem as the place is so depressing

    I guess that explains Cyrille,

    What is their tourist slogan?

    "Looks Like You Should Be-Heading Our Way!"

    "Come To Saudi Arabia, We're AA Friendly!"

    "A Pile of Sand With Oil Underneath!"

    The Dakar Rally is on there at the moment,seems the Govt is buying a few sporting events to get a bit of good press.
    Seen a few women wandering around the race control area with no head covering and also a few women are competing
    on bikes,don't know if a lot of western tourists went to watch the race.

    I used to know an Aramco chap that made more money out of his still than he did out of Aramco. Until it blew the roof off his house.

    But even then, he was simply sent home with his winnings.
