Our trip to Hofuf

We had a great time visiting Hofuf - the Turkish Palace has some pretty interesting architecture. We were privileged to be able to enter the "forbidden" (to women anyway...!) Tea House. Even our guide had never been inside this Men-only tea house before. A couple of the guys enjoyed some "hubbly bubbly" while we were there.


The bakery was very interesting. This fellow had a fire heated round oven where he baked flat breads. He can make several rounds in a very short period of time. It has sort of a sweet flavor, but is a whole wheat based bread. Quite tasty.
