Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists... just a little
From the top of the huge sand dune the “Dancing Ladies” didn't look that big. The two sandstone towers, whipped and striated by the wind over centuries into fantastical shapes, rose from the valley floor in front of us, but our lofty perch made them look modest. As our guides drove the Toyota Land Cruisers carefully down the dune, we waded after them, descending into a forest of sandstone.
