What's this new, fancy, most fashionable place in town? ("town" refers to Al-Khobar, one long hour drive away from the village of Al-Jubail)
Yeah, it says "fresh foods" on the front so, in spite of the crazy lights, it's probably not a nightclub (besides, we're in Saudi Arabia!)
It's more likely to be... a supermarket! But not just any supermarket: I'm talking parquet floor, subdued lighting, friendly staff, fresh vegetables, organized shelves, and loads of yummy importation products!
Look at all these exotic (Mexican!) chilis: (my kitchen already smells of salsa verde and rajas con queso)
Lettuce coming by air from the U.S... Eco-friendliness or diet, my conscience is guilty either way... (Oh, and not only does it hurt my conscience, its price hurts my wallet: 6 euros for a bag of American lettuce!)
On a less enthusiastic note, here's a link for those who'd like to read about the Shia protests in the region:
