Peeps
I had no idea that the gelatin in marshmallows is a pork-based product. Thanks for the information. Fortunately the border guards did not see it!

Peeps are Haram
Hi, Your Muslim colleagues could not eat these because they are made of marshmallows and marshmallows are made with gelatin and gelatin is made from pork which is forbidden to them.

Best cheese bread
Latif is known for their cheese bread and zatar bread - staples for expats, especially the kids. I always pick it up the day our kids are arriving for the holidays (any many other times also).

Dammam
Hi, you should have gone to Dammam Corniche and the Perfume District. Dammam is a very large City, one day is not enough. The most exciting day to visit Dammam is Friday when it's filled with South Asians. You'll think that you're lost in New Delhi.

So what does the women's room sign look like?
Or are women not allowed to use public restrooms? Or are you not allowed to take photos of even the signs? :)

Women's Restroom Signs in Saudi
I wondered what they looked like too. I kept searching for one so I could snap a photo, but I never found the women's restroom!! (But I found lots of men's restrooms. Hmmmm)

A friend
Hi, I like your blog. I graduated from from Georgetown University's FLL where among other things I became fluent in Arabic. Someone mistook me as someone who lived Saudi Arabia several days ago. One of my best friends grew up in Abqaiq

Is it real?
If it is actually a real genie lamp where'd u get it are there more?
From Blog: Khobar and Abqaiq
Genie Lamps
Hello Zoya. Yes, of course the genie lamp is real. The tricky part is declaring the genie at customs at the border, since the genie does not come with a passport. However, I was able to use up one of my three wishes and get the genie into the country. Please note that you have to pay extra when you buy the lamp to get one with a real genie. Good luck and good travels!

Love reading your early impressions
It is fun as the culture reveals itself to you. And, can't imagine they want to get some work out of you.
