Some interesting facts about Saudi Arab

• On valentine everything red is prohibited to sell.
• Red Flowers are not allowed instead you can buy any other color.

• Red heart shape pillow which is kinda trademark of IKEA is not allowed also.
• Any guy wearing red can get arrested or atleast get lectured by state Religious scholars.

Valentine for us is a family day un like they portray in media. I bought gifts for family. As you know red were not available so we got the white flowers pictured below. they were equally expensive and beautiful.
