Hi all,

I will soon go back to France for a break and I would like to bring some souvenirs and gifts from KSA.

What do you think really represents this wonderful country?
-Dates,
-Fragrance and incense,
-....

And then, I can't figure out what else :x

Help is welcomed!

Guthra.聽 Nice idea.聽 I always have wanted one of those to wear as a scarf

You can take that winter coat that Saudi's wear, I think it's called Bisht. You can find great variety in that and its very practical as well.

Hi guys,

I'm leaving soon, I've bought plenty of stuff and this weekend I'm going to buy some Guthras.

Any idea where I could find some cheap one like sr30 to sr50. I will buy many for some friends. If possible close to the center of Riyadh (don't wanna go to Batha >.<).

Thanks!
