Hang Glider at Tabuk (KSA)

In the early 1980s a German ex pat at Tabuk managed to import a hang glider diguised as a tent. He used to fly from the higher hills off the Jordan road north of Tabuk. My Father in law had a few flights as well. It went well for a few weekends until security arrived, glider was confiscated, but was handed back when the German guy went on leave, they were concerned
that there was a temptation to fly booze in from Jordan/ Israel/Egypt.
