What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada was deeply impressed by the contrast between Riyadh's world-class, high-tech Metro system and the traditional mud-house architecture of the older neighborhoods. He experienced a significant cultural lesson when he learned that offering tips to Saudi locals can be considered disrespectful. Ultimately, he found the city's rapid development and the hospitality of its people to be the most fascinating aspects of his journey.
