  • Most public places prohibit photography,and also taking pictures of local people is something that will make them uncomfortable,you have NO idea how much hassel I go through to take these pictures I place here in VT.
    The picture below was taken on a Ramadan night right after Iftar(The first meal to break our fasting)....the streets are really empty,,,,why am I out here??for VT sake ;-)

  • We don`t get much rain in Jiddah but when we do......this what streets look like,inspite of all the effort the goverment is doing,yet many streets still get flooded by rain.
    So try to avoid going out on a rainy day in Jiddah ;-)

  • When you plan a trip to Jiddah,have in mind that this city is located by the sea,so it`s humid all year round.
    luckley everywhere you go it`s airconditioned,unless you wants to jog by the beach ;-)
    I took this picture from my friend`s balcony just before the sunset....one of the most humid nights ever..as you can see,the air is filled with humidity

  • We get a sand storm mainly twice a year,when the cool season ends(it`s not really winter)and once again when the summer ends.
    Here is a picture I got in my e.mail of a sand storm that happend in Jiddah in April 2005.
    looks scary!
    it lasted 15 minutes and it was washed away with rain drops,,,then the real heat began!!!

     Just returned to see what's new since 2004. Quite a bit. Very interesting! First you made me hungry--delicious food suggestions--then you guided me to "Fitness Clubs." Not fair! lol I enjoyed your additions as much as the older ones!!!
