Which is as much use as a chocolate fire guard for us here in the costa del sand pit.
Still some much better beaches in the Philippines.

Beats Jeddah hands down all day long.

Not so sure...


There are some nice beaches to the south of Jeddah and great Red Sea diving to be had.

Also, the mountains nearby, they get enough rain to be green and lush, and an interesting and scenic environment with numerous extinct volcano domes.

The desert itself of course....

...and unlike Puerto Vallarto and environs, it's not full of shell-suited Brit holidaymakers.

I remember when my daughters all had boyfriends over at the house when they were teenagers and when I told one of them to leave and they hung around saying goodbye for 5 or 10 minutes, they never got to come back because when I say go, I mean go now. Leave immediately, and thats what I think you should have done. It's beyond me why people want to remain where they clearly are not welcome. It really is.
I would like to piss on your face!!!! Silver sands is a shit place and the customer service suck!! You are most probably a Saudi, and do you know what... The world does not owe you anything so pull up your socks and get a life. And I would also piss in your business calls basin!

As it would not have been a problem if it was a male friend, non? As in holding hands and such...very common over there. lol
They are good friends!!! rofl!

Now beware, if it was a female friend, or god forbid, one holds hands with one's spouse
