Down the causeway to Saudi Arabia

David Moore Bahrain is an archipelago of some 36 islands with a good efficient airport where women can actually drive (and show their hair) just a few km across the causeway from Saudi Arabia.
But like Saudi, people come from all over the world to work. Saudis come here as well - but to shop and party - making the causeway very busy on the weekends.
We went on a side trip across the causeway to the Saudi Arabian town of Nai'riyah - lots of sand, and desert. I am always surprised with the amount of life out there - from snakes and scorpions and assorted insects to camels camels and more camels. I am going to be rich because we even found water out here - and got stuck in it.
Large truck stops sell (very cheap) petrol and diesel, have restaurants and clean rooms, but not many tourists!

Did things go better when you let the other guys do the driving?
