Entertaining Saudi Style

Saudis seem to prefer the very elegant and the very fancy schmancy things in life.  Their entertaining style is usually quite formal, not casual like in the US where I am from.  Whereas Americans seem to prefer simple backyard barbecues or tailgating parties, Saudis always entertain in style.  Even for family gatherings, the women will dress to the nines and have perfectly coiffed hair and makeup.  Serving pieces are often extravagant, such as this beautiful cobalt blue pitcher and glass set.
