No Experience Required

You step off the bus into a sweep of sun-warmed stone and spice: the Dirah Souq’s narrow alleys push scents of sandalwood and incense toward the street as vendors call across low wooden stalls. The city here moves with a steady, human rhythm—bargains negotiated in measured voice, shoes clacking on flagstone, and the distant vertical cut of the Kingdom Tower marking a modern skyline.
