I joined a group trip this weekend to Qassim & Ha’il, which are northern regions of central Saudi Arabia.

First, a traditional drum and dance group in Qassim.


Then, the market in Qassim






The mud buildings of an old primary school in Uyan Al Jawa:









A volcanic crater in Ha’il, followed by some 3-7,000 year old cave art in Jubbah.











Today included a hike through Volcanic rock mountains in Ha’il.






Can you find me in the last picture?
It was a great trip, and I enjoyed meeting lots of new people on the journey, including Saudis who shared their stories and perspectives.
Later this week: Thailand. Cheers!
