hey stephano,
congrats on making it to the elite !!!
i've been hearing rumours from a long time in the local press that the tourism ministry is going to ease up the visa regulations to cater to the other kind of tourists (non-religious) also. Its good to hear that the changes seem to be happening.
oh, yeah the Riyadh traffic/driving is horrible (even by saudi standards) .. I guess saudis are infamous all over the region for their signal jumping - lane cutting - footpath driving expertise. no wonder people give way in UAE/Bahrain when they see me in their mirrors !!!
I am myself planning a ride to Dubai/Abudhabi from Al-khobar (saudi east coast city) in the forthcoming Hajj holidays (5th Dec onwards i guess) ...
hope to catch up with the UAE HUBB boys/girls.
cheers
Vicky
