About This Blog, and About Me: Susie of Arabia
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is KSA's 2nd largest city and is located on its west coast, right on the Red Sea. I moved here in 2007 with my Saudi hubby and teenage son. This journal reflects the things that I see here, life through my eyes, my lens.
Please be sure to also visit my other blog, SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE, which relates my experiences, thoughts, and observations about living in Saudi Arabia.

So happy to see your photo of gorgeous Saudi jewelry. I lived there from 1980-1984, helped open Al-Hada hospital in Taif. I loved going to the junk souks to pick up pieces of this lovely jewelry that were being dumped for gold jewelry. Wish now I had bought more that I did but I treasure the number of pieces that I did buy and never fail to get lots of comments when wearing them. How long did you stay in Saudi? I really enjoyed my time there, the Red Sea, the great people and friends that I made and the food. Many great memories of that time. My son was born there, too. Thanks for the memories evoked by your picture, Laura.
