I went on another hike with esprit nomade discovering Tarshish and Kfar Selwan. It was a 5 hour hike (12kms) where we saw panoramic landscapes, prairies and wild flowers, beautiful pine forests, wild trails, and very relaxing water streams. Here are some photos.
I recently took part in the Loud Exhibition which took place at Desert Designs Gallery in Al Khobar. The show is on from May 3rd to May 11th. Here are some snapshots from the exhibition.
