Nightlife Spot: Haret Kan Ya Makan*

A new restaurant opened in a very elegant area resembling the old Jeddah houses,something very unique.
It has an outdoor dining area,where you can see the making of the pottery.But it`s suitable for the winter time when the weather is a lot cooler.
The inside dining area has two lovels,,and if I`m not wrong the whole place is only for families and single ladies.
Shisha is also served here.
Kan ya makan,means once upon a time,,and harah or haret,,means district!!!!!!

Nightlife Spot: King Fahad Coastal city

There are many theatres inside most of the embassies in Jeddah for foreigners,but for Saudies this is the first,to tell you the truth I was more excited than my kids.
There are 3 shows,one at 5p.m.9p.m and 11p.m.

We watched Disney`s animated movie"Finding Nemo".it was in it`s origional language(English)with Arabic subtitles.

The seats were comfortable and the airconditioner was great.
I`m asuming it`s for ladies only because I have seen ladies working there(selling popcorn,snaks ect.).
But I`m not so sure,I guess you can give them a call if you would like to be accompanied by your husband.

Nightlife Spot: Laylati wedding hall

This is Jeddah`s most elite wedding hall,if you had the chance to be invited to attend a wedding reception there do not hesitate.

Wedding reception is almost the only way to dance the night away on live music in Jeddah,take notice in this country weddings are for women only to attend :-(
But still it is a chance to meet people and enjoy the live music preformed by local female singers,accompanied by a music band!

Well if you didn`t get a wedding invitation you can always visit the restaurant next door,check my restaurant tip it`s called(Al-multaqua).
