The men dressed in the white thobes in this photo are customers waiting for their orders in a local fisherie. Saudi men traditionally wear the thobe with long white pants underneath, a scarf or small white cap on their heads, and sandals. The fisherie offers a selection of fresh fish or you may bring in your own fish to have it cleaned, gutted, and cooked to your specifications. Fisheries are very popular here in Saudi Arabia.
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.

JEDDAH DAILY PHOTO 
Arabian Susie..thanks for being there..sharing what it is like – to live a Jeddah’s life!!! My fiance’ had just flew for Jeddah last June..He got a job at KAUST.. and I’ve been searching since then just to have a bit of idea..looking forward for more photo post..thank you!
You can bring your own fish? I cannot think of anywhere like this here at all.
I find the men’s dress interesting, but I prefer it when they wear the white or white and red scarf, with this white cap they look weird to me.
The penchant for uniformity in Saudi Arabia is something I would have never expected.
Arabian Susie! Love this posting for a look into daily Saudi life. I’ve been curious about Saudi Arabia for a long time but haven’t had the opportunity to travel there. It’s fun to see Jeddah through your lens and with your explanations!
Great robes! Great fishery! Great photo!
