What are the main roads like there? The roads here in Bahrain are crap (generally)- the roads in Riyadh were excellent - huge ring roads and overpasses everywhere as you would expect a system designed by Los Angelinos. The good roads are paradoxically the cause of most of the accidents - always by Saudis doing 200 or so. Saudis also regard their fate as being determined by Allah and not themselves - known as Saudi Logic!
