Jeddah| Summer All the Way!

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Thoughts

It is so hot -can I say, scorching (?) in Saudi Arabia lately. As in hot. When you go to the car, you can’t even immediately sit down. You have to either let the car get cool inside for about a minute or two or leave it open for awhile until all that heat say goodbye.… Read More

Eid Family Outing 2018 + Isterahas

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Thoughts

Fakieh Aquarium, Jeddah

by Gilian, in category Jeddah

I have to admit that growing up in Saudi Arabia means you have only seen a few real animals; those that are eaten like seafoods, and those that are common here like camels and sheep. Giraffes, lions, tigers, and all the other animals seen in the zoo and farms are likely just seen on TV,… Read More

Dolphin & Seal Show at Fakieh Aquarium, Jeddah

by Gilian, in category Jeddah

Fakieh Aquarium’s Dolphin Show is one of the go-to activities for almost every kid in Jeddah. It’s something new especially for people who have not left Jeddah since they were kids. We don’t see many animals here. Mostly because people stay inside most of the time. There are also no stray dogs here, just cats.… Read More

Tavola Shop, Jeddah

Tavola, Jeddah is a shop where you can find first class baking and cooking equipment. It has been a really long time since I last visited Tavola Shop in Tahlia and my wallet is excited because they now have numerous baking tools. It’s a heaven for those who love working in the kitchen. I love… Read More

Harley

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography

There was no electricity in our area last Thursday, which rarely happens here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The power usually comes back after 15 minutes, but I decided to just take the kids outside our building because it can be really dark and hot inside the house. Plus, I wanted to do some afternoon snaps… Read More

Silk Road Museum, Jeddah

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Wonders

Silk is produced by several insects, like silk worms but generally only the silk of moth caterpillars has been used for textile manufacturing. It’s surprising to know that Jeddah is an ancient trading city that was also part of the silk road. SILK ROAD is the path of commerce the Chinese used to trade with… Read More

Arabian Lanterns

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Wonders

If you have been to Al Shallal theme park in Jeddah, these Arabian lanterns are probably the last decorations you’ll notice because you’ll have to look up and stare at them to see their beauty. I was at Al Shalal for 3 days early of December because my kids were practicing for the Jollibee Jeddah… Read More
