The Ruins of Old Muwaih
Built along the trade route linking Eastern and Western Saudi Arabia, the old city of Muwaih was a vibrant town offering food, shelter and trade to the caravans passing through. With the unification of Saudi Arabia and subsequent building of the interstates, the locals would relocate the town, moving closer to the highway. Leaving the town and its fortresses abandoned.
Photo-Hiking Saudi Arabia
When people think of Saudi Arabia’s landscape, they almost invariably imagine a huge expanse filled homogeneously with sand, camels and… oil. While there are good reasons for the stereotyping, my visit to Western Saudi Arabia’s mountain city of Ta’if and its surrounding valleys and deserts completely changed even my views of the country. Bear in mind, that I have lived in Saudi Arabia nearly my entire life, and never have I experienced Saudi Arabia in this way.
The Road to Ta’if
The mountain city of Ta’if is one of Saudi Arabia’s most historical cities. Since the 6th century AD, it has been a major hub of agriculture and trade in Saudi Arabia. While modern Ta’if is linked to the rest of Saudi Arabia via concrete and asphalt, remnants of the city’s history remain.
Nothing Like a Little Flying
Dammam to Cairo is only a 3 hour flight. But include the fact that I don’t plan things out, coupled with Sherif Azab as a traveling companion and we’re in for some insanity!

Part IV of my ongoing blog posts on the LOL comedy tour which took place all over Saudi Arabia and featured Axis of Evil stars Ahmed Ahmed and Maz Jobrani from the unique angle of a photographer. Todays post is on the final public show in Riyadh.
On Tour with Ahmed and Maz
For the 2 of you that haven’t heard, Ahmed Ahmed and Maz Jobrani were in Saudi Arabia this week for a comedy tour in Riyadh and Jeddah. I was called up to tour with them and cover the stage performances and backstage antics. This was the first time an event of this scale has been performed in Saudi Arabia. History was made. And here is your inside scoop, from a photographers perspective.
I'm a freelance photographer based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and have taken photos for magazines and event organizers that have been published worldwide. I help people preserve memories, and companies mark their events. And I make sure to spread good cheer wherever I go!
