SAUDI ARABIA - Jizan Folklore Dance
This is my second card from Saudi Arabia, thanks to Ihsan for the swap. It shows the Jizan Folklore Dance at Janadriyah Restival, Riyadh. He wrote, people here traditionally use thub (whitecloth), ghutra/shemag (red-white) at head part and eghal (black circle at hear). A weapon at man hold caller "Khanjar" is Arabian Dagger.
"Jizan is a province of Saudi Arabia. It stretches some 300km along the southern Red Sea coast, just north of Yemen. It covers an area of 11,671 km² and a population of 1,186,139 (2004 census). The capital is the city of Jizan. The province includes over 100 islands in the Red Sea."

SAUDI ARABIA - Camel
My first card from Saudi Arabia, sent by Ahmad.
"Saudi Arabia, officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is the largest Arab state in Western Asia by land area (approximately 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi), constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula), and the second-largest in the Arab world after Algeria. It is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast, and Yemen in the south. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast and much of its terrain consists of inhospitable desert."
