Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)
Checked out of the Hilton Fujairah early this morning and departed the UAE. For the first time, we were enroute to Saudi Arabia! Never thought I would land there. The Royal airfield was HUGE. People were very nice - while we were fueling, they offered us tea and cakes. The next leg (to Greece) was uneventful. Sadly, I didn't see the pyramids when we flew over Egypt... We landed on Crete quite late. When I got to my room at Naval Station Souba Bay BOQ, it was already almost midnight. Needless to say, I was very happy to get to sleep.
