Najd Village, front

We spent an evening with a group from the embassy at Najd Village, a traditional Saudi restaurant that visitors are often taken to for a cultural experience. The building in particular was quite interesting; the service excellent; and the food was good. There were sofas in our private room, but dinner was served on the floor, so we had to sit and eat on the floor, which I would have to say wasn’t the most comfortable thing in the world. It had a carpet, of course, but was mud brick under that, with nothing to lean back on. This will be a short gallery of our pleasant evening there.

Well, that looks like an intriguing night out - does Abu Dhabi offer anything so authentic? I look forward to seeing more of Al Khozama Garden, too. BTW, do you see the Saudi Aramcoworld magazine there?
