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.

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.
