Mt. Gara Caves

When driving through the desert you will see random rock formations dotted throughout the sand. These are the Saudi "mountains." They are really beautiful. One of the most famous of these mountains is actually located in our town! It has a beautiful labyrinth of caves throughout it. It also shield you from the heat. We loved visiting it, but when we hiked to the top we almost died of dehydration! It was so hot!! Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

Doesn't it look like we were in an Indiana Jones movie???!!

Thursday Market

Every Thursday there is the weekly farmers market. This is a great place to buy fresh stuff really cheap. You can even purchase live pigeons for your weekly meals!

Anyways, we love learning about the local culture, so we had a great time shopping for veggies and plants when we were there.

Fresh Camel meat too!!
