    • What makes Jeddah special is the old city,
    where History engage with current life. Most
    tourists will enjoy walking around the old
    town and its narrow blocks. Watching people
    from all over walking with their traditional
    cloths (Specially from Africa and Asia).
    Shopping for antics and inexpensive
    products made by locals or imported from
    India, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan…etc.
    Hearing the call for prayers through the
    oldest minaret of the city, and the smell of the
    wood of those old houses.

    I am sure it is unforgettable moment.

     What a wonderful picture. How sad that what belongs, really to all mankind, is hidden from us, by a group of bullies. I pray one day that the Saud's will let go of some of their iron control and relax.    		john2perth Sat Aug 25, 2007 16:36 UTC
