EP 41 - DAMMAM - Chegamos no Golfo Pérsico de Motorhome

In this episode, we arrive in Dammam, the main city of Saudi Arabia on the Persian Gulf, and have two incredible experiences: we were invited to dinner with a local family and also to a Bedouin tent. What were those encounters like? So much history in this unprecedented journey! Popopôa, our vintage motorhome, brought us to Saudi Arabia, and we are exploring many new paths! We are pioneers, the first Brazilians to travel the Arabian Peninsula (Western Asia or the Middle East) by motorhome, and we want to inspire other people, especially caravanners, to explore this region with their homes on wheels, as soon as things calm down in the region. May that be soon! And, for that, we want to share this experience with you! In this episode we will show: Our trip to Judah's Finger or "Judah's Thumb" - a giant rock in the middle of the desert What precautions do we need to take with Popopôa, our vintage motorhome, when driving in the desert? - Traffic rules in Saudi Arabia: can trucks drive in any lane of the road? The places where we parked in the city, on the shores of the Persian Gulf Perspectives of different neighborhoods in the city Our trip to the mechanic to repair the exhaust pipe Our stop to change the oil on the Popopoa Dinner in the desert, invited by Abdula, in a Bedouin tent. We ate camel for the first time: what does this meat taste like? Is it tasty?

Three days of sandstorm and air full of sand dust particles: what was the impact of this climatic phenomenon on us? YES!!! We've already traveled through Kurdistan, West Iraq, and Jordan in our 1988 vintage motorhome, and we've even made it this far, to Saudi Arabia!
