In the western region ( Jeddah, Tabuk ) there are still remains of the era of reign by the ottoman empire. I saw an old steam locomotive in Tabuk, used on an old railway from Istanbul via Damascus to Mecca.

I worked for the UK construction company that built 800kms of rail track in KSA near the Jordanian border. I went there in 2009 to develop a safeworking system that would allow the work trains to move around the construction without killing anyone. I also trained the some of the people there to use it. I went there twice for a total of four weeks. Spent some time at Riyadh and the Jeddah airports
I'd love to go back there one day

KSA is very interesting indeed, What did you do in KSA ?
