Travelogue 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia: Roads of Riyadh
▶️ Riyadh, the glittering (=shiny, luxurious) capital of Saudi Arabia, is probably even more addicted to cars than the average American city. Half of anyone's visit is necessarily spent on the city's roads as places of interest are far apart and it still gets busy despite the huge spaces that roads are taking up.
As the Google Maps American robo lady struggles to give you timely (=in time, not too late) instructions you realise how ridiculously (=in a silly way) long some of the road names are. All the members of the royal family, after which the roads are often named, need to be addressed in full, although locals do have their short forms.
If you're lucky (or unlucky) you get to see various kinds of risky driving - the country's favourite sport and #1 cause of premature (=too early) death - from street racing to acrobatic passengers.
