Land pictures from the trip to Saudi Arabia 2008. Most time was spent on the livaboard, naturally, but we also visited small, sandy islands with nesting birds and turtles. In Jeddah (the ugliest city in the world) we visited the propaganda museum and the souk before the adventurous 20 hour flight back. See also the
UW pictures.
