Hmmm. Typical stereotypical stuff like the heat, sand, oil, royals, beards comes to mind. Also, peaceful streets, as in no bombing taking place.

 

[OZZYGT]

No offense, but I also think of AK-47s when I think of the country, eventhough I know is not a country involved in terrorism or anything like that.

Well the weird thing is , 2 years ago there was a Terriost attack which killed my friends brother (he was only 8-9 years old) he was going to school in the morning with his sis .

Last year they closed a full neigborhood as they have discovered a Terrois cell , and it was like a war it was 2 days of shootings using everthign you coul imagine .

Streets are getting crowded but other than most of the time its peacfull with people jut mindng thre own busniess

This is one of the craziest things in today's world. Women and kids getting killed over some political B.S. Terrorists truly are one of the lowest forms of life IMO. 👎

You know, it's quite typical to imagine a land 10,000 miles away, and picture it as this exotic, mysterious place, disconnected from our own. Last month, I was in New York, and whilst killing time at the airport I walked by a gate where probably 300-400 people were waiting to board a plane to Jeddah. What struck me was how eerily similar the scene was to every other airport gate I had ever seen. Kids were laughing and playing with each other; their weary parents just watching quietly or dozing. The whole room had a sense of anticipation--that of returning home (albeit only after a 15-hour flight). While these people were definitely from a different culture (every woman was wearing a burka, and every man a turban), it amazed me at how similar our day-to-day lives probably are, even though our homes are on opposite sides of the planet.
