The guide tried his best to provide introduction to the few sites that I have visited and has offered kind help in phototaking as well. The car was also equipped with water and juice.

Our questions were answered with detailed explanations and Sulaiman also told us some stories from folklore and of the Saudi traditions. He was very friendly, interacting with the locals in a vibrant jolly way, and introducing us to the residents and vendors, all of whom were eager to have a friendly chat and practise their English. We sampled some traditional Saudi food and Gawah (Arabic coffee), and stopped for fruit juices to quench our thirst. It is worthwhile timing your tour halfway either side…”
