I was first introduced to the Arab method of brewing and serving coffee by a hotel manager. A colleague at work in Riyadh often brings a pot into work as well. Delicious!
So how about an Arab coffee chain of cafes?

New Year's Resolutions / Wish List for Riyadh and Saudi Arabia in 2009
1. Purchase road sweeping / cleaning machines and hire people to operate them daily.
2. Hire more traffic police to enforce traffic laws.
3. Start a campaign to encourage people to fasten seat belts in the front seat.
4. Start a campaign to encourage people to use baby seats and not sit with babies in the front seat
5. Start planning public transportation – busses, subways, light rail – this will also boost the economy too.
6. Start a recycling program citywide. More jobs.
7. Curb the feral cat population. More jobs.
For the entire super sunny Gulf and Middle East:
* Implement a solar energy program - did you know Israel has solar water heaters on every rooftop?
