Saudi Sojourn: Adventures in the Desert Kingdom

September 1, 2023 by Dave7 Comments

The temperatures have been warm during my stay in Dammam, ranging from 108 to 112 degrees Fahrenheit during the hottest parts of the day. I've been wandering around the city on foot for the past several days.

To compound things, several days offered up a stiff breeze (and that's … [Read more...]
