Saudi Post


 
We have used the postal services in KSA a few times. The success rates are pretty erratic. Some postcards have not reached their destinations but some have. Most of the mail that has been sent to us has never reached us or has reached us after some considerable delays. The other day when T was leaving KSA for the weekend he decided to take his chances at the King Khalid International Airport and buy some stamps for postcards. The first step in this process was to wake the guy behind the counter up. After the business had been conducted successfully (stamps had been received and paid for) he received some pretty interesting literature (without specifically asking for it). Here’s a picture:


This made us wonder if the true purpose of the post office is something else than carrying mail from place A to place B?
