The wait...
Traffic here is an adventure. They may have lines on the roads and signs but they don't follow them. It is interesting to watch. How there are not more wrecks is beyond me. One of the other frustrations are how long the lights are. They have timers on them to let you know when they are going to change. This one started at 160. Then the green light was only green for 35 seconds. It also has a timer on it to let you know when it will end. Bring a book to read between lights. If you hit one red one you will hit them all!

Camel Market
This is where they sale the camels. This big camel is the male that fathered the others.
These camels are worth 150,000 SR or about $40,000 because of their long faces. They are not ones that you would eat. They are a pleasure camel.
Bedouin Market
These are from the Bedouin Market in Nariya. The Bedouin are nomadic people who live in tents and travel around. At their market they are selling goods made for camels. There are also people selling coffee, dates, and other animals such as long haired goats.
Nariya
These are pictures from our trip to Nariya. This is where a lot of the Bedouin or nomadic people live.
