Product Review

Saudi Arabia remains a unique entity in today's world, steadfastly governing itself in splendid isolation and fighting hard to keep 'modern' influences at bay. However, it has modern trappings such as an excellent road system, even though women aren't allowed to drive, and modern cities, even though women won't be allowed to vote in local elections until 2015. The cities of Medina and Mecca are closed to infidels. Kuwait, its immediate neighbour to the north is an open society and is included on this map as a very large inset, with a separate inset of Kuwait City. Central Riyadh is also included as an inset map, showing mosques, hotels, banks, and shopping areas.
