Tim is back in Riyadh for a few days, and since I couldn’t go with him, has taken some pictures for me as I was curious to see how it now looks and what has changed.

An intriguing gallery - Tim demonstrates excellent camera skills, and reveals the rapid pace of change in a country which remains a mystery to many outsiders.
