Red Sea Mall: Giving Life to a City by the Sea

February 27, 2017 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The cosmopolitan city of Jeddah is irrefutably the commercial center of Saudi Arabia. Tourists from all over the world choose Jeddah as their first pick among other cities in the kingdom. While many of the Saudi cities are too strict in keeping their traditions and social mores, Jeddah is relatively lenient. There are in fact some areas in the city where the religious police (mutawa) stir clear from. While most of the Saudi cities are scorching hot throughout the year, Jeddah enjoys the breeze from the Red Sea. And in honor of the sea, one of the city’s leading shopping centers is called Red Sea Mall.

Jeddah Corniche: Waterfront like No Other

December 18, 2016 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The loveliest places in the world are near a body of water. Civilizations are built and modern cities are established as people begin to settle and flourish along riverbanks and sea coasts. Also, seaside and coastal areas boast of picturesque beaches and amazing sunsets. This is true in Saudi Arabia.

Meet the Desert Sea Divers

December 17, 2016 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

Desert Sea Divers sounds like a name from a sci-fi adventure movie. A clever title that puts together terms that are unlikely to make sense. How can there be a sea in the desert or how can one dive for fish in the middle of a sand dune? Well, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, this title pertains to a group of real individuals who actually dive in the desert; in the Red Sea off the coast of Jeddah to be more specific.
