The article presents the author's account of his visit to Saudi Arabia. According to the author there is only one way of learning to know a country and that is by going on foot. Earlier few people practice this magnificent method, which is yet so economical. Sites and landscapes appear in their true scale and one will draw nearer to men and learn to love them. Along the roads in the springtime, flowers will greet. They will smile, rise and sway in bowing welcome. In addition to the perfume of the flowers, one will encounter the grave looks of the people. The names of the streets are being changed. The language of government, the courts, the newspapers is changing, and the customs and traditions of Islam are being re-established.
