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.

Fuddruckers (in Arabic)
I like showing familiar business logos and signs in Arabic. I haven’t had the pleasure of eating here yet though, so I can’t vouch for how similar the Fuddrucker food is here compared to the states.
