The tour guide

This is Tariq, a tour guide we happened to meet outside the Diriyah Visitors Center while it was closed for prayers. He was waiting for a Saudi client and his family who were late, so we started talking, and he was very helpful in explaining the history of Riyadh and Diriyah to us and later showing us around the facility. He posed for several pictures, but I took this one when he wasn’t expecting it, and liked it the best.

full of character, even good will; the unposed ones are always best!
