Hello,

There are several restaurant and shopping choices in Thuwal. I recommend transportation service to Thuwal on the weekends.

For example, it would be nice to go to Thuwal in the afternoon on Friday, and purchase some goods, and then eat a seafood dinner.

I’m not inclined to drive in the Kingdom. Each time I want to go to Thuwal to eat, I have to rely on a taxi, but mostly there are no taxis available.

Thanks,
Aaron
