This Summer I had the unique opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia may not be on top of most Americans travel bucket list, as the cultural differences and perception of a strict government can be a deterrence for some. What I can say from my time in Saudi Arabia is that even though the culture is different, I felt perfectly safe and comfortable while I was there. Even more-so the people of Saudi Arabia that I interacted with were very welcoming and polite. That said I would still advise any visitors to respect the local laws and customs, as this would avoid any chance for a problem to occur. I did not have a whole lot of time to sight see but I have included some of the things I did while there. If you find yourself in Saudi Arabia I hope this list will help be a guide to you.

Originally I had talked about doing the trip in November but given the weather in Iceland during that time, I was not sure if I could have done the Northern part so I decided to do it in late September/Early October and we feel it was a good decision. This allowed me to drive the entire ring without having to worry about roads being impassable or any other problems due to weather.
