On the last day before flying back to Riyadh!

UGANDA DIARIES

One thing I look forward to during each visit to a new place is the local cuisine. It can be a bit tricky sometimes because halal options aren’t always available and I don’t eat most fish.

My husband and I had booked the 6:45pm Ethiopian Airlines flight from Riyadh to Addis Ababa and further to Entebbe on 22nd June.
