I would love to travel within KSA in the coming 3 days, but I am not sure which options are under 12 hours from Riyadh.聽 I have been to Alkhobar/Dammam/Dhahran already, and the other locations Lonely Planet gives bus fares/times for are 8 hours plus.聽 I might be up for those places, but something closer is welcome, too.聽

I also don't know the transportation situation: with the king returning, will flights/buses/trains be affected in the coming days?

Any suggestions on good places to go this time of year (for example, Taif might be better saved for the summer months when I will want a cooler location)? Is Jeddah a bad choice since it may (?) still have bad after effects of the flooding?

Thanks in advice for your insight!!!!

Are you the lucky one getting an off from work on Saturday (applicable to schools, government, military)...

Read about Safari Resort on an older post from Musicman - we went to look for it - eventually found it and are definately going to book in there for a weekend soon!

come over and have a look at Bahrain
you can probably get a good deal on accomodation!
