Country Summary - Saudi Arabia

I am humbled by the sheer expanse of this country. I will not publish pictures of Saudi Arabia. There are large areas of this country unspoiled, particularly in the north, and I would like to see them stay that way. This is a country of amazing natural beauty and, regardless of the man made issues that the country might face, has a lot to offer. The Makkah - Jeddah road was the highlight of the trip and I am privileged to have made the journey. Whatever the reasons behind the governments unwillingness to open the country up, they are guaranteed to preserve these areas. Whenever man and nature meet, man exploits for financial gain. With the way the planet is being destroyed right now, I hope Saudi stays shut. In generations to come this may become the only country on the planet with unspoiled wilderness still remaining. Long may it continue.
