During our stay in Jeddah at the Fal Resort, our male teachers were asked to join the traditional dancing which only the males participate in. It was very entertaining to watch!
On our very last day in Riyadh, we were taken for our second visit to the desert where we were finally able to ride camels. It was rather interesting to see a flatbed truck arrive with two camels and two ATV's in the bed of the truck!

Here I am in a full face veil and hijab. While I did not have to wear this during my travels, many women in Saudi Arabia opt to be fully covered like this when they are in public.
