Saudia Starting Flights to At Least Four Destinations in 2023
The SkyTeam airline alliance — of which Delta, KLM/Air France, and ITA Airways form a part — has my two favorite underrated airlines in the industry (thus far; I haven’t flown every airline in the world, not by a long shot). China Airlines is one of those carriers, and the other? Saudia. Since my first […]
Kabsa (كبسة), Saudi Arabia’s National Dish
While teaching in Jeddah, a couple of my students took particular interest in showing me around the region (which even included an impromptu trip to Mecca).

At the time, water was supplied to residents by tank trucks, which rapidly became ineffective due to the fast-growing population and development. In order to tackle the issue of water distribution and storage, in 1965 the Ministry of […]
Emirates Inaugurates the World’s Largest Vertical Farm in Dubai
Regardless of one’s opinion about the genesis of climate change, the phrase is regularly mentioned in many countries throughout the world. Is it just another expected phase in our planet’s history, or did the industrial revolution lay the groundwork for our mutual destruction? And to what extent are airplanes guilty for any possible environmental crisis? […]
