No, it’s not nighttime – this photo was taken at about 1pm. It was my first time in this mall and the lighting was rather – er, dramatic? Anyway, the jewelry shop was lit up nicely and was quite attractive, as many of the mall shops here are.
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.

I am Saudi and Muslim and I absolutely do not wear hiijab (while in Jeddah), but admire those who do (for the right reason). It would be more refreshing to see western women cover up more
Is that a woman right in the center wearing an abaya but no hijab? How refreshing!
In Jeddah, there are many women who do not wear hijab – they are all expats who are not Muslim. I wear hijab because my husband (who is Muslim) insists on it, not because I want to.
