Just a photo of a type of strip mall here in Jeddah, where one shop in particular caught my eye – “House Baby.” Not only is the name of the shop a tad humorous, but the graphics on the sign also are a little peculiar for this country, appearing like they almost came right off of a slot machine.

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.

This IS funny.
You’re right, it does look like slot machine icons!
I like the orange and blue structure on the left. Seems really appealing to me. It is a restaurant?
Whatever it is, they have me interested just by the exterior of their store.
You know there are places in Phoenix that have strip malls that look very much like these…foreign language and all.
I don’t really know what to say about this! What kind of shop is it? I’m also struck by the lack of windows on the front of these shops. Wild colors, too.
One last comment I forgot to mention…
Bab Rizq Jameel may be translated roughly as ‘To make a clean buck’,
Cheers.
