I cannot PM you until you have 3 posts. Doid you get to Al-Mamlka Al-Arabiya Al-Saudiya ? It changes people lives. Not always for the netter. When first there in the 1970s it accelerated my developing alcoholism.

Re: Dhahran
I suspect that "Wahabis" does not ring any bells with readers. They are a fundamentalist grouping within Islam, Muslim version of "The Wee Frees".
