At first glance, one might assume that this resembles a fully stocked bar. However in Saudi Arabia, alcoholic beverages of any kind are strictly forbidden by religious law. Popular beverages here include sodas, coffee and tea, and a variety of fruit juices the likes of which you have never seen.
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.

We lived in Jeddah in 1998-2000 and my kids and I still miss the gallon jugs of strawberry juice and the variety of juices you could buy in the grocery store! They were so delicious.
That does look like a bar. I have many Mormon relatives who of course don’t drink alcohol but they have a great variety of tasty non alcoholic drinks that they make.
