Civilization and utilization of animals is very old. The Sauds like horses though, they will slant it. It was probably written as fact before the first shovel or brush touched the evidence.

Civilization and Arabia are incompatible terms.

This is what Texas is going to look like very shortly if it doesn’t rain.

"Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, is trying to diversify its economy away from oil and hopes to increase its tourism."

First thing they need to do is get rid of their repressive society.

What's so earthshaking about that?

Most of us have been aware of it since the Islamofascists took over the U.N.

Just check out any of the 56 members of the Organization of the Islamic Council:

Sandmaggots United

Which, incidentally, some time in the last 6 months or so, changed its name to the gentler sounding Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

They want to “increase tourism”?????

Of course, their biggest “tourist” attraction would be Mecca and Medina...and those cities are CLOSED to non-muslims.

and muslims HAVE to go there, at least once in their lifetime, even if they can’t afford it.

Great qualifications for a “vacation destination”.

This picture is proof positive of one thing.

One out of eight Saudis are smart enough to stand in the shade of that scrawny tree in the desert.

Heck yeah, with a beach like the one in the picture and a ban on all alcohol sounds like another Cancun!

I know if you go into Google Earth, you can find stone circles all over Saudi Arabia that were built over 5000 years ago or more that are of unexplained origin.

Just oes to show (once again) that the most advanced and intelligent civilizations can be replaced by barbarians.
