These images were taken along the Sharma coast, about 250 km West of Tabuk where expats often spend wonderful weekends camping, diving, eating and chilling out!

The people of Tabuk have fascinating clothes, dress and faces. A plethora of Asian races abound.

The desert is not all about dunes, it is dry and hard in places, odd shapes have been carved by the sun and wind. The sand colours range from white to red and many plants manage to survive

This card shows, amongst others, cars that have been abandoned in the desert. Like animal carcasses bleached by the sun they are left to deteriorate in the desert, bit missing, often torched (for fun, who knows). They are scattered, randomly, along roadsides.

When you first arrive it is odd to see camels, but after a while they become as common as once seeing sheep or cows was. They are used for racing, eating, milking and probably many other uses I don't know of. 

Some shots of wildlife taken on the compound, the bird was taken at the beach.

The camel racing track is about 40 kms from Tabuk. The races are not advertised to well and to find out when one is happening can be like striking gold. But the practicing happens all year round, in the morning and evening and one can make a fantastic couple of hours watching the spectacle. The guys love to be photographed!

Another set of activities available to those who want to try biking or kite boarding.
