I arrived back to my apartment in Riyadh after having spent 10 days in Qatar and the sand inside was incredible - I could have made my own little sandpit with what I swept up.
Only to have a big sandstorm hit the next afternoon. As you walked into the main lobby areas of the hospital you could see the sand in the air.
The air was just thick with sand - you could smell it with every breath that you took (I was imagining the sand dunes in my lungs getting bigger and bigger)
We had to wear a mask and glasses home from work it was that bad.
