The largest Kitty Litter Box in the World. Located north of Riyadh and west of Daharan. Basically in the middle of a desert. Big long runways, lots of military vehicles, and a bunch of camels and Bedouin roaming around. Oh yeah, they have this thing called a 'Schmaal' which is basically a very hot wind that blows sand up so much that you can see only in meters. It gets in every orifice of your body and basically erodes the bollix off helicopter external components and engine inlets and compressor sections.
But hey, just think, you might be able to buy a Big Mac and read Stars & Stripes. Have fun!!
