Saudi Arabia - Half moon bay

A few days ago we decided to head down to the KFUPM beach..Its located along Half Moon Bay.. yes its a half moon shaped bay! (KFUPM is the university where my dad works) The university has its own strip of beach for employees and their families.. they also have another strip just for students.

The beach.. ahh i loved the beach when i was growing up in Saudia. My sisters and I used to roll down the big sand dunes, build sand castles (which my dad always stomped on!).. or poke the jellyfish that washed ashore.. I remember there was once an abandoned van in the middle of the beach all rusty inside.. but it had a nice smell. I always had a good time.. so after 10+ years I was really looking forward to our little trip there..





We arrived a little before sunset.. so there wasnt too much light..

The place was pretty deserted.. there was only one other family there.. and a couple further along admiring the sunset.. and NO i didnt take any good sunset pictures.. i was stuck in a sand dune somewhere.. by the time i ran down the sun dipped over the horizon!!





This used to be the sand dune that we rolled down.. it used to be huge (really it was!).. and there were never any trees on top.. very very suspicious.. hmmm..





ahhh.. i tried.. and now i'm convinced humans are not meant to lay eggs..



here's some sand for u..





my attempt at being "artistic".. hehe.. A lot of the royalty buy big strips of land along this beach.. the building you see belongs to one of them..



i like all the lines in this picture..



ok i did take one or two pictures of the sun.. hehe








goodbye!
