    • Since the suicide bombings earlier in the year in Riyadh, police have been setting up more checkpoints around Jeddah.
    It makes the traffic flow a lot slower but it's safer for everyone.
    They don't say anything about Westerners travelling together (i.e. unmarried men and women), but you have to be VERY careful if a single western woman is travelling by herself with an arab man.
    Just make sure you have your iqama/passport with you when out and about.

    • Avoid Chop Chop Square on Friday afternoons if you have an aversion to seeing executions. A westerner will be pushed to the front of the crowd by locals.

     Great tips. Have only been to the airport during Haj a long time ago. Birthday greetings from Alaska!    		JessH Tue Feb 6, 2007 05:43 UTC

     Hi Bec. Your Jiddah page is amazing and begin to miss the place while reviewing your tips. My stay there was too short and didn't see much. Will be back to your site to see more on the Middle East. Regards from Freddie of Toronto    		uglyscot Wed Apr 5, 2006 07:29 UTC
     Very useful tips. I wasn't there long enough to see much. Indeed the roundabouts are strange. It seems to be a feature of most Arab cities, but none so strange as in Jiddah.
