Discovering the Soul of Saudi Arabia

My journey in Riyadh began with curiosity and grew into a deep appreciation for Saudi Arabia’s rich traditions and modern transformations. What started as personal notes to navigate daily life evolved into this platform—a compass for others seeking authentic experiences beyond the surface.

Here, you’ll find cultural insights shared with respect, practical guidance forged through experience, and hidden gems that only years of exploration can reveal. From the aroma of fresh gahwa in bustling souqs to the silent majesty of desert dunes, I share the Kingdom through the eyes of someone who calls it home.

This isn’t just about surviving expat life—it’s about thriving in one of the world’s most fascinating cultures.
