Aba as Su'ud, Saudi Arabia
Guys,here in Najran even there are absolute jabal and dessert,still u can lookup for some interesting parts of this city,u can go to AL-balad to do some shoppings like the Arab daggers and scimitars in a row of an old souk(market),then adjacently there are some desert water pouch sellers,which are locally handmade,and best part is the water inside is as cold as u put in the fridge!Fresh i would say so,with so skin smell at all!
AND the style of buying is very straightforward and harsh....so be careful when you ought to buy smtg here.....get yourself not to be overcharge!!!! Still the trick is get some locals to do the talk if you want to get them cheaper!!!! But for me it was a worthwhile dealing with the traders here,get urself some trading challenges!!!! Make it or break it style,be bold guys!!!

Ok still in Nejran guys, if theres any chance u would like to go to the dam ,U can go if you really wanna see a dam with total desert and I dunno why the build the Dam or in Arab the called it SAT....Then try to go to the archaeological site at UKHDUD museum on weekdays except FRIDAYS which only meant for couples and families.Couples here means legally married couple coz the officers will look at ur papers before enter....And when u asked the taxi driver to go there,bring extra money or they will leave you dry!!!! hahahaha! Remember these taxis not actually taxis u always know but only ordinary car drivers that will take u wherever u wanna go n dont be surprise if the driver is as young as your 13 years old brother!!!!!!!!!
Here it is a norm,I even saw this boy maybe around 12 got caught by police and still he still calmly playing text with his phone!!!!

haha,we meet AGain,hmmm for Trip to Abha actually there are 3 methods to go there,Actually Abha I think is more family enjoying tourist's place cos they have cable cars2 etc2.....juz like KL Sunway in Malaysia,ok back to HOW 2 go there,

1st-Rent a car...
This is for sedan type-This 1 u shud have an Iqamah or Saudi ID to to rent as a guarantee along with 130 riyals for 24 hrs of rental,another 500 for insurance and deposit(sometimes they charge you 1000).Ok for the first 300 km will be free of charge thereafter 40 halalah per kilometres,So if you wanna rent better pool with other friends,then ull save a lot...remember all these doesnt include petrol(no worries cos only 45halala(cents) per litre hehehe...only in Saudi!!!!

2nd method is
For 1 way trip by taxis,if ure familiar theyll charge u 60 riyals per trip,but if u look obviously in oblivion they might charge extra 20-30....So b4 you even enter inside the car better make some negotiations,who knows thell ive you some ridiculous fare!These cabs u can take in front of Najran SAPTCO nearby Faisiliah....

Last 1 is the cheapest I think is by SAPTCO(aforementioned above) ,SAPTCO is a national bus company in Saudi,for return ticket will only cost you around 68 riyals.

So guys...............you decide!!!!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.now Im gonna tell you how to deal with the cab drivers,first dont ever make a statement that u r new as from your appearances,try wear some flip flop coz they will intentionally charge you double if u wear CAT sneakers and Jansport sack!!! haha,coz ive been neckslit in broad daylite from these cabbers!!!!!ha
but the next day when i dress in a mediocre wear he only charge me 2 rather than yesterday's 6 riyals!

Here are some tips,
When they stop...ask them the PRICE first!!!
Don just jump inside...
Next,If u wanna do some groceries shopping around Khaldiya area (lo0k from maps),tell them to stop at Khaldiyya or spell QALDIYAK,from there u can get some good fresh fishes(samak in arab),pusit in tagalog(squid) etc..Then there is this market named ASIA BAKALAH(ASIA GROCERIES) that sells most stuff from asia,from the infamous gudang garam,our malaysian minyak kapak to the old skool meatball or daging bakso ,sotanghon and many more!!!!!!The cashier is a Thai.....vEry helpful Guuy!Sawadikap!tlungkup tlangkap jangan sampai kene tangkap!!!!
