This GOT Star Just Spent An Epic Weekend In Saudi Arabia

Jason Momoa joined a host of actors for the first ever ComiCon Arabia in Riyadh

Held from Nov 23-25, Riyadh played host to its first ever ComiCon festival last week with an impressive list of TV, film and gaming stars from America and beyond descending into Saudi for the highly-anticipated event.

One of the event’s highlights was hosting Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa (Aka Khal Drogo), who made sure to take time exploring the city with friends before headlining the sold-out event.

Trying out some traditional Egyptian cuisine at a restaurant in Riyadh:

Got a chance to take @prideofgypsies to try some food from my motherland, Egypt, while we're here in Saudi Arabia. Even though we're not in Egypt, they had all my favorites! Then we went out to a desert called Thumama, which was just insane. Videos don't do it justice! P.s that dessert in the video was fucking UNREAL!!!!! It's called Konafa…. aka #CarbComa
