Rugged Southern Saudi Arabia: A Quick Glimpse

This will be a relatively small gallery of a recent business trip my husband took to the provinces bordering Yemen – Asir, Jizan and Najran. Unfortunately, I can’t post most of the images I really wanted to include, but would just like to give a glimpse into this very rugged region of Saudi Arabia. Many of the pictures were shot from a moving vehicle, and he was unfamiliar with using my Sony camera. Still, I think he did an admirable job!
