This was taken from a hotel (Movenpick) restaurant (The Waves) which is built out into the Red Sea. We had dinner at the open outdoor patio restaurant, and the gentle waves of the Red Sea were literally within inches of our table. Many families were there to eat and enjoy the cool breezes and the sounds of the waves. Most of the seating was Arabian style, with large deep cushions on wood framed couches. Throughout our meal, I could smell the flavored smoke from the hukkahs which were being enjoyed by plenty of the patrons, women included. We had finished eating and were walking back to the car, and I just thought the reflections in the water looked so beautiful, especially with the mosque lit up the way it was.
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. 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 OF ARABIA (formerly SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE), which relates my experiences, thoughts, and observations about living in Saudi Arabia.
