Riyadh Museum's

[S.Al-Anizi]

Hi,

Last Monday, I had a chance for a trip to Riyadh, and I flew there, staying three days. I took pictures of almost everything, museum inventories, ruins, antique stores, and even one sword workshop, and some pre-historic stuff. Anyway, for the sake of staying on topic of these fora, I will only post the pictures of the weapon's, and any relevent comments I recieved on them.
