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.

Stone Building
No idea whether this is a private villa or possibly a school of some type – it is quite a large building and doesn’t appear to be very accessible and is quite imposing.
Arabic Signs
Within this photo there are at least 7 Arabic business signs showing. I love the big colorful Tourism sign – it looks like a party.
Popeye’s in Arabic

Harley Davidson in Arabic
I don’t see many motorcycles driving around Jeddah, but there is a local Harley-Davidson dealership none-the-less.

Construction Worker
I see many construction workers (more than likely, just about all of them are foreigners) whose jobs look pretty dangerous here in Saudi Arabia. Many employers do not seem too concerned with their workers safety. There are some government regulations … Continue reading
