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.

Fifa is a montanious distinguished area in the south-west of Saudi Arabia and contains a lot of attractive sites.

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.
One of the last shots I took for a commission in Saudi Arabia... Taking it wasn't as peaceful as it looks. I wanted to do a long exposure but I needed to stand on top of a 4x4 to get high enough to separate all the shapes of the lagoon. It was so windy up there I was struggling to keep the camera steady and with the light falling I was bumping the ISO up to try and get a fast enough shutter speed to get a sharp shot.

Saudi Hawks are currently in the UK based at RAF Waddington for RIAT air display. This was a practice display flight over Waddington.
Mada'in Saleh is one of the best known archaeological sites in Saudi Arabia. It was once inhabited by the Nabataeans some 2000 years ago, Petra being the capital of the Nabataean kingdom.
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.
Old Dir'aiyah.
Old Dir'aiyah is the ancestral home of the Al-Sauds and the birthplace of the Saudi-Wahhabi union.
Six of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) Hawks flying in close formation as part of their routine at the Yeovilton Air Day.
Although not as finely polished as the RAF Red Arrows, who fly similar aircraft, the Saudis are still very impressive in the air.
Riyad - Masmak fortress.
Masmak fortress was the scene of Ibn Saud's daring 1902 raid on the Al-Rashid garrison to regain control of Riyadh.
Jeddah - Ethnological museum.
The museum of Abdul Raouf Hasan Khalil in Jeddah houses 10,000 items crammed into 4 mock-Arab, Disney-style buildings. The museum is a spectacularly badly organised mish-mash of kitsch exhibits, but there are a few real gems among the flotsam.
