The guys were smiling but it was rather sinister as they were holding daggers....a war dance perhaps?

A view of the Maraya Concert Hall in AlUla, Saudi Arabia. Designed by the Italian architect Gio Forma, it is the largest mirrored building in the world and devilishly difficult to photograph. Sometimes you need people in your picture to give scale and context because the building reflects the surrounding landscape and has minimal physicality, more of a laser lightshow or a hologram than a building. It is utterly incredible, endlessly fascinating like all great works of art.
Taken from the B-777 I was flying at 34,000 feet over Saudi Arabia. Many believe that this is the real Mount Sinai. The peak is the dark triangular one in the center and upper third of this shot. The Gulf of Aqaba is in the far distance.

Al Soodah park.
Al-Soudah is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Located close th the summit of the Kingdom's highest peak, Jebel Soudah (2910m), this is the place to come for precipitous cliffs, deep valleys and mountain tops disappearing into the clouds.
The oasis of Najran, surrounded by mountains and close to the Yemeni border, is one of Saudi Arabia's hidden gems. With towering mud-brick, fortress-like homes strung out along the wadi (riverbed, dry except during the rainy season) and an exceptional mud-brick fort, Najran is also home to a fascinating cultural mix that owes as much to the northern Yemeni highlands as it does to the rest of Saudi Arabia.

Although not as finely polished as the RAF Red Arrows, who fly similar aircraft, the Saudis are still very impressive in the air.
