A shot of Al Rashid shopping mall in Al Khobar taken from the roof of Al Dorra apartments. Rashid mall is a huge western style shopping centre, apparently 2nd only in size within the Kingdom to one in Riyadh. The picture is taken early on a Friday morning when most Saudis will be at home sleeping after a late Thursday night. It's the only time you'll see the car parks and roads empty at this location!
