A trip to Saudi wouldn't be complete without a peek into their gold souq (market)!
Look at those guys in the background, ready to wheel and deal....
Here we are in the process of getting my *belated* birthday present (thanks mom!), with a pair of pearl earrings thrown in for Lydia because they just love kids! and of course while you wait you will be served some small sweet glasses of hot tea.
And last but not least, this fellow does a very important job of polishing fine stones...a good friend to my dad who has brought him some stones he picked up in the desert and come out with some nice beauties!
We didnt run into this store....looks more like aladdins cave! (but thats the picture that pops up when you search this topic on google).
