Saudi Arabia’s Duning Pastime

Sun, sand, cars and insanity. Saudi’s favorite pastime in pictures!

Pakistani Weddings: The Dholki and Mayoon

So here we are. Planning has been done, the dates have been set. The families have now spent a few weeks shopping for clothes, gifts, jewelry and booking wedding halls. With just a few weeks to go before the wedding, its time to start having fun!

Courtship and Marriage in Pakistan

In Pakistan, marriage is considered the union of two families, not just the pairing of two people. Combine the vested interests of extended family with the restrictions from culture and religion, and navigating the path to a wedding can get quite challenging for all involved!

Sunset at the Lava Fields

Volcanic activity is not something new to Saudi Arabia. The region around the Wahbah crater is located in Saudi Arabia’s 5,900 square meter Harrat Kishb volcanic field. Our expedition to the crater opted to camp in to the east of the crater, at the northeastern edge of the lava fields.

A Giant Hole in the Ground

Well, those of you tired of hearing about me climbing mountains all the time will be glad to know that this post is about a trip into a massive hole. Nono, get your mind out of the gutter. Not that kind of hole… pervert.

Riding the Dunes

Saudi Arabia is huge. And for the most part, its filled with… nothing. Nothing at all. This is a story of what its like to drive through this nothing. Oh, and we got assaulted by a camel. Read on.

Guests of the Emir

How chance led us to a chance to dine with the Emir of Turaif and see his amazing collection of pre-WWI Saudi weapons.

Climbing bin Huwayl

I panted heavily as I shifted my weight onto my hands, holding onto the ledge beside me and preparing to drop down yet another few feet along the granite path that seemed to lead down the mounting. Grimacing as I hit the hard rock underneath, my knees buckled halfway, exhausted by the torture they had received over the past 8 hours.

Pakistan vs New Zealand in Dubai

The integrity of journalism implies that I should apply equal coverage to Pakistan and ‘that other team’. Thankfully I’m no journalist. I’m Paki. And damn proud of it. Biased commentary commences.

Standoff at the Masai Mara

Interactions happen among all the animals of the Savannah, regardless of whether they are linked in the food chain. This is a photo-story of what happens when elephants and hippos come to odds with each other.
