Another gallery I never finished was this one, of palatial residences in Riyadh. Not every Saudi lives in a palace, although some do and many come pretty close. They all have gates, some of which appear in “The Gates of Riyadh” gallery, too, but in these I tried to show more of the houses to give an idea of how people live there. I must add that our house in Riyadh was nothing like any of these ;-).

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
