Trip to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The trip. I was leaving on the 10th of December. First flight Halifax to Toronto After a 6 hour Drive to Halifax so stayed at the hotel and that is where I would leave my vehicle for the next week. A free service they offer. Early morning flight and uneventful so to speak. 

That night had a great stay at my favorite hotel and met some fantastic new people. Had a great meal and off to bed early. Motel shuttle to the aiport at 5:30. and checked bags. I had one bag to check and one thing I would mention is that typically I book all of my own accom and flights etc.

The company I am doing work for insist I use an agency. From Toronto I flew direct to Cairo Egypt. Since I did not have a visa for Egypt I spent my time wondering the airport and Shopping. Lots of opportunity to see some sites as we landed and from the airport windows. 

On the flight we received 3 full meals all of which were better than most of the kids favorite fast food joints. Them being up 10 levels from a bag of peanuts and a drink.

Meals on the flight consisted of fruit, hot meal, breads and drinks. Taste was good and all was more than palatable, coffee and a variety of teas were also available through out the flights.

Staff was fantastic, friendly, ready to answer question and make all travellers comfortable.

The other item I would mention is that my flight had to have 30 children on board. Not a sound, parents handled what needed to be hancle which was very little and all the children seemed laike seasoned travelers.

After Cairo another flight to Dammam Saudi Arabia then about a one hour Drive to Al Jubail. Photo on the right is driving up in front of Hotel
