Expat’s Kashta Adventure Inspires Flood Of Invites Across Saudi Arabia

Hera Shabbir

When Dr. Mark C. Thompson, a prominent X user, shared his grand kashta plans through Saudi Arabia, he probably didn’t expect his post to blow up!

His route, starting from Riyadh and looping through Zulfi, Hafar Al Batin, Arar, Al Qurayyat, Tabuk, Tayma, Hail, AlMithnab, and back to Riyadh, instantly gained attention, racking up thousands of likes.

But what truly stole the show? The outpour of heartfelt invitations from Saudis all along the way

From Riyadh to Arar, and everywhere in between, locals chimed in with open arms (and maybe some freshly brewed gahwa). one user from Hail offered to be his official host, and another in Hafar Al Batin offered him a home cooked meal!

The invites were endless for Dr. Mark!

This isn’t just about one man’s journey; it’s a testament to Saudi Arabia’s legendary hospitality. Whether it’s welcoming expats, sharing stories, or rolling out a feast for a traveler, Saudis consistently show that their kindness knows no borders.

Who knows? This could be the most well-documented and warmly hosted kashta the Kingdom has ever seen!
