Jeddah is an untold story…

I have searched the web and found that every website of Jeddah is very formal and unappealing. When I want to find information on a city I look for personal experiences and insiders view that can tell it all. That is the main idea behind the launch of this site.

People from all over Saudi Arabia come to vacation in Jeddah during the holidays. It is one of the top nation’s destinations. More and more Jeddah has become the city of lights, and its ever so growing. Every day you see new attraction on the Kornish (the seaside public areas) and new restaurants. There are elegant shopping centers openings all over the city.

If you are like me a person who searches every thing on the net to find great suggestions to any destination. Especially if it is written by every day people like you and me. You want to know good places to go but don't know what to expect. Then hopefully post by post I can provide that for you.

Now I am not an expert but I am very critical of my entertainment in any city. I like my
information to be available. That is why I think Jeddah deserves that too, someone to write about her to the world from an insider view.

I consider this blog to be an information sharing site as well that is open to all. If you have any tips and ideas of your own please share it with everyone in the comment box below. This blog is launched to be a platform to provide helpful information to travelers to the city and new comers that just had moved to Jeddah, or even for veterans of the city that are looking for something new. Please leave your valuable comments and join in the conversation over a net cup of Arabic coffee…

Sit back and enjoy the city of lights….
