Saudi Arabia and Dubai

Our Daughter Laurie and her husband Tim live and work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We spent two weeks visiting them and seeing the sites around Riyadh. We used part of a 9 hour layover from Riyadh to Beijing to take a whirlwind tour of Dubai, including a night visit to the tallest building in the worls, over 1/4 mile high, and the super posh Atlantis Hotel at Palms Island, where they have an indoor aquarium with sharks, mantas, and whole schools of fishes big enough to feed a family of three for a week.
