Parallel world for the Saudi youth - Part 4

HOLIDAY IN THE RED SEA (ending part 4) I've always believed it best to convey my thoughts are pictures, not my words. Therefore, I will give them the opportunity to speak for me, making only one more small comment before you can enjoy views of the underwater kingdom of the Red Sea. Our camera - small size of a pack of cigarettes, "Olympus". This camera, we are grateful for the fact that he keeps us memorable moments and reliably perform its functions. But this is not the most advanced camera for underwater filming, so please do not forget that when you view the pictures. Photos, of course, wonderful, but it is best to see it all firsthand. I recommend to visit the Red Sea at least once. Not necessarily come to Jeddah. I think Egypt will go too. Maybe it will be even better. That evening we found our golden mean. We have nothing more was needed. We are people of water. As soon as we can see the water, and under the feet of us is the sand, we are happy and want nothing more. Some fish trip we tried to catch a taxi to go home, but we could not catch the car on the street. While we were trying to figure out what to do next, next to us stopped the car, and smiling an Egyptian named Mohammed asked us: "Hi! I Mohammed, Chief Financial Officer beach. I'll take you to the city. " Along the way he talked nonstop about Riyadh, Jeddah, his family and the beach. Without stopping, he talked about svey trip to England, the application process and about what each of his eight children engaged in life. No sooner had Andy from these conversations to sleep, we stopped in front of department store Mall-of-Arabiya, where Mohammed had some business. We were like back and forth and back to the car. He dropped us off at our hotel, and we promised to meet him at the beach the next day. It was nice to finally get the opportunity to insert a word. Corals and fish the rest Jeddah, we almost did not investigate. In addition to the Red Sea, we are no more interested. We both felt that the city in Saudi Arabia is unlikely to be interested in people like us. That night we slept very soundly. The next morning we left the hotel and went to "our" beach. There are still reigned joyful atmosphere. We swam and danced to the Black Eyed Peas, drinking non-alcoholic beer, smoking a hookah and soaking up a complex feeling of freedom. Mohammed proudly boasted of his office and introduced us to the owner of this place, a pleasant elderly man and his wife. Both of them are from Saudi Arabia. We were given calendars, so we gave them home to their friends, so they can come here, and Mohammed said that the next time he can arrange us a room right on the beach. Oh, if you knew about this before! Hard to say what it is. Something very beautiful beach is very close to the airport. And besides - if they knew about it before ordering a room in the Crowne Plaza! We took a shower and went to the gate where we were already waiting for a taxi. If I would have been able to give advice to those who are seriously thinking about moving to Saudi Arabia, I would say the following: "Do not do that!" But if you still need to move here, come to Jeddah. If only because in Jeddah you will be able to periodically run to the other subcultures, into another world. Until then, until the underground parties continue, this was one of the best, which I managed to visit. We are waiting for a hookah flight back to Riyadh passed uneventfully. Frankly, I would not mind if your flight is delayed, because the airport in Jeddah just a world-class, there is something to do, where to go, where to eat and drink. In Riyadh, we were met by our trusty driver Jamil. From the dry hot air, my skin felt no better. Better that than nothing at all "Which city is better, sir, Riyadh or Jeddah?" - Jamil asked Andy. "It is impossible to compare" - I thought to myself. Start material:
