This complex of swimming pools was used by US military personnel in 1990-1991. LTG Gus Pagonis had a camel parked here. I was there a number of times. Kind of hard to keep clean. The pools were mostly filled with sand. Looks deserted now.

  • Well, hope you enjoyed your time in the Kingdom, were you sent back to the middle east since then?
  • I had a great time. No, I have not been to the middle east since then. I got out of the Army in 1992.
  • It was still open in December 1995.
