Weekend at Al Khobar
“Vrooom Vrooooooom”, Dad turned the key and the engine came to
life with a start.
Since it was Hajj holidays and Dad also had 5 days holidays, we
decided to go Al Khobar.
It was a great day and the weather matched perfectly with our
moods. It was neither hot nor cold. October was certainly a great month.
Sometime later, we were far from the city and the car sped
along the Riyadh - Dammam highway. The
highway cut through the desert until we reached Dammam. It had smooth golden
sand which did not have a single foot- print on it. There were some sand-dunes
too. Camels or the “ship of the desert” grazed at the areas where there were
patches of grass here and there.
Finally when we reached
Khobar, we became a little more joyful since we had sat for 4 hours in the car.
We were simply longing to stretch our legs.
Our hotel was called the Tulip Inn Sea View. It was a 4-star
hotel, but not so good like we expected.

Afternoon me and Dad had a swim in the hotel pool.
After we rested, we drove out to the King Fahd causeway. The causeway connected Saudi Arabia and Bahrain through Persian Gulf and there is a man- made island in the middle.
It was awesome. The water of the sea glinted and shone.
We had our breakfast at a vegetarian restaurant called “Sukh
Sagar” on Friday. We all enjoyed the food and we were also surprised because it
was the first time we were seeing a vegetarian restaurant in Saudi Arabia.
