Greeting all

I’d love to share this amazing video showing my hometown (ALBAHA), located south of Saudi Arabia.

I dont care how beautiful it is there. The way you treat your women turns my stomach upside down. I know plenty about your country. My sister lived there on contract work for 8 years. 2 times her contract was up and your Govt asked her to stay while offering her more money that she could not refuse.

She lived on a US Military compound as she called it which gave her some sense of normalcy from what she had to endure every time she left those protective walls. I understand every country has their customs and ways and no one should put down others because they are different from their own. But I have been told stories that would make any civilized person want to start swinging fists.

I know things that will never be published or put on TV.

Beautiful scenery!
I was not surprised to see snow there.
The nature scenes are really pretty....and mountain views and range are so majestic looking.
Beautiful country, indeed.

(Hint: and that's ALL we discuss here....the country and nature site, and the video made therof...NOT the customs this country has!)

If any women complain to you about the treament she got in SA, then you can post something regarding the subject!

And if your sister lived there for almost nine years, certinly the native Saudi women will live there for life time!


thanks to you and I hope from you to comment something talking about the subject.

No need to address that again, since this thread's subject is self explanatory.
This thread is dedicated for you to show us the beauty of your country, and get us an "insight look"
A job well done, by the way.
Please continue to post.

Very good!
I, for one, would love to see more of the nature, country, building structures and such of your country.
(Views most people don't necessarily see.)
I am very interested and curious about ALL OTHER COUNTRIES...no matter where they are.
I applaud you for the decision to continue to post, and to "open our eyes" a bit, of what this great world has to offer!

desertsun has a point; how can one enjoy this scenery as a foreign visitor if one is obliged to dress up with a scarf or even a burqa (down in Yemen) when one is a woman, and wear tons of clothing for both sexes (so-call preservation of "modesty") instead of comfortable and light Western outfits in the mostly hot desert weather?
