TT The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Deserts and Desserts

Parents of travelling offspring can sometimes be provided with the opportunity, or challenge, to visit unusual places. When the chance came to visit her daughter Rowan in Riyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Alana decided that she was ready, willing and able to go. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Middle Eastern country that although well known, is not often experienced first hand. In a journey that reached from the central desert to the Red Sea, Alana discovered there was little that was familiar. However, the food was tasty and worth the trip!

Both are again resident in Calgary, and will give a joint presentation on their experiences. This Treks and Travels presentation will have two different perspectives, one from a brief visit and one from years of residency. Like all countries, Saudi Arabia has changed over the years and since the time they each spent there it has developed in interesting ways.
