The Frankincense Trail Saudi Arabia-5

Series in which intrepid presenter Kate Humble follows the ancient frankincense trade route of Arabia across the amazing modern world of the Middle East. Kate's journey along the 2,000-mile trail that first connected the Arab world with the West takes her on a quest that's steeped in history, searing with desert heat, and full of characters and adventure. For 3,000 years before the birth of Christ, frankincense was more valuable than gold. Its sweet smelling aromatic smoke was treasured by Pharaohs and Caesars, and their insatiable demand for frankincense created a trade route from the southern coast of Oman to the Holy Lands. Vast camel caravans carried thousands of tonnes of frankincense over tribal lands - known today as Oman, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Israel and Palestine. Following the trail across these seven nations, Kate finds modernity coexisting with ancient traditions as she discovers what it means to be a Western woman in Arabia.

Glad he said that banning women to drive is not an Islamic issue, rather it is from the extreme parts of the Saudi culture!

@niceandsleazy1981 what about the responsibility of men and their attitudes towards women? They are after all the gender in control of 99% of societies world wide. The people with power are the people who should have responsibility.

But then again I don't expect much thought about that from a man who calls himself " nice and sleazy"
