A relative of a friend of mine broke down on the motorway with his family. Along came a stranger, who insisted on helping; giving him the keys to his own car so that he could take his family home before resolving the problem. Where else in the world does that happen?

Dear me, when I travel I spend half my time arguing with people about

Jihad actually means to strive. Something which we are all doing. Don't let its meaning be twisted by the media.

Covering isn't synonymous with oppression, just received an email from a Niqab wearing Muslim woman who is a Grandmaster in Karate. Go girl!

Hi Dave, that’s not the point. The point is, however a conservative a muslim you might be, you cannot prevent muslim women from doing these things.

It was a hostile place to photograph. There were some friendly faces, but during my time there I was bitten by two dogs, thrown stones at and told to go back to my country. Relatable when you consider the impact that foreigners have had on their lives over time.

"My aunt is traveling to Paris to find hats instead of the head scarf as camouflage, so that no one will know that she is Muslim." How sad!

Llamé el proyecto así porque a pesar de los colores es un lugar hostil para sacar fotos. Me tiraron piedras, me mordieron dos perros y muchos me dijeron que debería volver a mi país.
Bueno, sus sentimientos hacia el extranjero se entiende al conocer su historia.

I've seen several women swimming like that in the Gulf. Must be difficult, I know how hard it is to swim in clothes.

Only for some. The majority of women in the street in Saudi still cover their faces.

Muslims are just as humane or inhumane as you are. Why not be a little more open minded and discover...?

Amazed at the number of armchair travelers. How could you possibly have an opinion about a country you have never been to?

The media always fails to include the all important cultural context. We can't judge another culture based on our own norms.

In the street in Saudi Arabia, the majority of women, even some of the young ones, still cover their faces.

I love the weather there Gonzalo. It changes every 5 minutes, so if the light is too soft or too strong, you can just wait a while. Makes it much easier for taking great pictures.

Hi Jacqueline. I loved the weather there, its so changeable that if you are not happy with the lighting you can just wait 5 minutes and the mood will be completely different.

I am from the West too Cris, I'm from England. Saudi culture is very interesting and worth preserving. I don't like the way it is being eroded by Western imports.

Yeah, poor guy, I guess that is all he owned. What fascinated me was that he looked so comfortable, like he was watching TV.

Unfortunately we live in a world of sheep, run by wolves and owned by pigs. Where are the shepherds when you need them?
