Didn't mean to show the locals in any bad light and agree that Saiq has changed beyond all recognition with the new road. But there are still people living in what we would call primitive conditions if you go to some of the more obscure and hard to find locations. Having said that, the government is putting new roads in all over the country at a furious rate and the lot of locals is improving at the same rate. I have huge respect for these people managing to survive and prosper in some fairly harsh environments.
