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.

This odd vehicle belonged to the restaurant. I’m not sure what traditional thing it was supposed to represent, but it was obviously there for show, not use.
