Last weekend we had here in the Riyadh already in search of a famous souq (Arab market) , the computer needs only offers. And I had found in a variety of information and network with colleagues, he was also called Batha souk. Finally we landed on a next to the Souq Masmak fortress was, but there of gold watches and materials somehow everything, just not computer. We looked comfortable in the area around and also found a place next to the fortress, on which many Saudis were staying and spent her Thursday. My subsequent research, why we were there was wrong led, then, that we were unwittingly landed on the square, colloquially Chop-Chop Square is called, but officially called Deira Square. So we had to look for without it, found the Enthauptungsplatz. Where the site at all then looked. Fortunately, we were not there Friday, otherwise they would have it, can happen in the event of imminent decapitation, following the event that we had in the first series may follow. Nothing that I absolutely must see.

After further questions and I had to look for are in the last week, then three more points for the possible location to which the computer opened Souq.

Again on Thursday and then we started with construction detours could be directly related to the first position of the apparently correct Souq. Prices were as expected then a little higher than in Germany, but after a question how much is the Logitech Webcam C905, was offered to me after the first rejection (called price at 75 EUR in comparison to the German ~ 60 EUR) is already taking action. So I think that may well invite to European prices.
Since we could not exclude that there are other computer-Souqs with any other offer or prices, we wanted to approach the other two points also.

If you look at the picture on the first look at Souq, which in principle that is particularly complicated route, but unfortunately I turned too early and it was hard to the right route without a GPS-assisted recover. We came back on but part of the way from the previous weekend.

This is the route that we went finally. So we totally lost. Meanwhile, we landed in a souk, as I would have imagined an Arabian souq. So shops where you look, everywhere people scurrying about on the street and all a bit dirty compared to the usually found on such malls here. We always went to the feeling of the north, to get back into the compound and came to a major road. It was left to the west and turn right towards East. Perfect a north-south road. At some point, but then came a cross with the words "Dammam". Now we were told at the beginning of our stay here, we should have moved once, always take the road towards Dammam and we were right. So we drove down towards Dammam and so stupid, by the road that we had brought in a few kilometers to the shopping center near the company. We did not know of course

Meanwhile it rained properly and I got more and more the feeling that the headlights no longer work. Side, the lights were always, and of a time the city was basically just in our back. Dammam was loud but still signs the route ahead. The rain was getting more and few cars with activated warning lights and more slowly. For rain or water on the street is for the Saudis devil stuff
Then came the sign for Ar Riyadh. Riad direction also. Of course we have followed and we were of course no safer than before in the right direction on the road. Meanwhile, had water on the street benches with about half the height of our vehicle wheel formed. The amount is likely to have been about 30 cm and if these water bodies not circumnavigated it was a beautiful fountain to the left and right

To check our direction I wanted to try the compass at the Milestone, only to find that I had not installed a suitable App. At the same time I saw me on the headlights and could see the reason why only felt to see parking light was. The desert dust had subsided completely by rain water over the headlights. It was said then continue with the high beam, because otherwise we would have seen absolutely nothing.

With time we realized then building left and right, and knew again where we are. Just one more turn and we could easily take a familiar home. After the turn then was also the following video in which you can see hopefully some extent, how much water was in the street. The fountain was to be seen when driving through a "puddle" with the right front wheel and flooded it but the entire front window, so I draw directly back to the left and had to abort the passing maneuver.
The video was made in the absence of more precise knowledge of the camera in high speed mode. I've slowed down and subsequently by the high-speed mode, the camera could record the image, unfortunately, probably not too bright.

We were finally safe and sound in the compound, and it's funny that we still had the day before videos of such clouds can break show. expected that us the next day even happened, we were not sure Furthermore, the next purchase in any case, a prepaid phone card with mobile Internet to at least in the city a map with you. The maps of Riyadh, unfortunately no help, as street names here are some completely over-estimated and are not tuned.
