Business Travel to Al Quwayiyah (VIDEO)

This is my second trip to our other two colleges. This time around, I thought that I would share where I have been going to work. This way, you all will have a clear picture of what I mean when I say, “I am going to the desert.” and “I can’t hear you because the reception is horrible.” Al Quwayiyah is a very small traditional town. Most of the restaurants women are not allowed in. If I want food from one of those places I have to send my driver in to retrieve it. You are expected to be fully covered at all times. You are expected to not walk within the community, instead be driven everyone. There is no mall and no all in grocery store. There is a vegetable and fruit market as well as a souq area. Between the three places one is able to ascertain all of the foods they desire. Yes, it is an interesting place, but hey when in Rome you do as the Romans.

Below, you will find two videos. First is a video of what my travel looks like. I fly from Al Khobar to Riyadh, Saudi’s capital and then I have about an hour and half drive to reach Al Quwayiyah. The second video are the accommodations that I stay in if I don’t want to reside in a hotel in Riyadh and make the daily hour and a half drive.
