An aerial view of Al Khobar looking roughly north-east and taken from the roof of Al Dorra apartments. In evidence in the foreground is much new building work, which can probably be attributed to the nearby location of Rashid mall.

I have since been told that taking pictures from a high elevation is illegal in Saudi Arabia.  Who knows whether this is true or not, but a friend of an American colleague once got arrested for taking pictures from a hill! For some guidance on taking pictures in Saudi Arabia, see here.
