weekend in Saudi Arabia

Today was my first weekend in Saudi Arabia, weekends in Saudi Arabia begin from Wednesday to Friday, and normally families will go to the beach to relax or in my case since I'm staying in Abha we went to a city called Al souda (SODA) lol! which is high in the mountains, where they literally touch the clouds... 

let me just say this I love all of you Saudis but wallah you guys are crazy drivers, while driving up the mountain side there where cars passing each other which put them literally on our side of the road that is how crazy they drive I mean I'm sure you guys are good drivers but stay safe I was literally holding my kids back so in case there was an accident I could block them from flying lol!

While in Al Souda we took so many pictures and stopped in several places let me just say  this place is absolutely beautiful, a lot of families come here during the weekend for picnics... our first stop was at the side of a road where there where lots of bamboo let me just say the zoo's have them behind cages for a reason these monkeys where crazy we stopped the car and they all came running to the car and where on top of the hood, I was like omg there gonna get inside the car we rolled the windows up very very quickly, but they are very skid-dish so with the honk of horn or just a swooshing move they ran away, but we threw them some bread and that was pretty entertaining because the bread was still in the bag and they are pretty smart they knew how to open the bag and eat it but wallah they scared the crap out of me...

We drove to this one area of Al-Souda where the mountains where very deep and the clouds where literally on top of you, it was so beautiful  Subhan'allah to be able to touch them and them to blow over you, wallah Allah is the best of creation! From the distance of the mountain top we where at was the palace of one of the princes, Masha'allah it was a huge palace but very beautiful I'm not sure if it was allowed to take pictures of the palace but I did :D I told my husband think they need any extra employees lol!

Today was truly a very happy and fun day I really enjoy the trips I take with my father in law and husband, my father in law is one of the sweetest people I have ever known, he makes me cry though not in a bad way but in a happy mode... Earlier we where gathered around eating our late lunch and he was telling me that he loves me as his own daughter and he loves me like he loves his own daughters and that we are part of his heart, wallah I wanted to cry but all I could do is accept the happy memory moments.

So far my stay in Saudi Arabia even though its been only a week, ( can't believe its been a week already) but wallah I love it here, Saudi Arabia has a lot of developing that is taking place but I assure you that the people are kind, and very welcoming some of the best-est friends and people I have ever met are from here and I think without them my process to adjusting here would be much more difficult and alhumdullilah I am for ever grateful to them <3
