Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Photography| Rain

by Gilian, in category Photography, Saudi Arabia, Women

I was with my family traveling to Madinah around May this year when I saw this view: At first, I thought there was a sandstorm in that area until I saw lightning somewhere near and I realized it was raining in that specific spot. This photo above is how raining looks like from afar. (Left… Read More

Jeddah | Random Shots

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Saudi Arabia, Wonders

Lately, I’ve been out on Saturday mornings and I got a pretty view of the city in the morning. As usual, I would take some shots mostly while in a moving vehicle. This is one of the mosques in Balad, Jeddah. I remember there was a fire somewhere near this mosque before, maybe that is… Read More

Life in the Middle of the Desert

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Thoughts, TRAVEL, Wonders

My husband’s company had a family day last March and we were not sure if we were still on the right track because—well, look at that photo above. (Photo got corrupted when my website God hacked. Just refer to the video below) We were in the middle of nowhere! 😂 Until we finally saw an… Read More

Durrah, Saudi Arabia

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, TRAVEL, Wonders

This is the part of Saudi Arabia that many people outside (and even those inside) Jeddah don’t see. If you are living outside Saudi Arabia, you may think that we just have deserts and mountains here and that there is no snow here. 😁 I was one of those who thought that way until I… Read More

Photography|Arabian Camels

by Gilian, in category Photography, Saudi Arabia, Wonders

Some camels like walking alone. Some like it in groups. Either way, they all look great. 🙂

Al Ula Heritage Village Re-Opens to Public in 2020

by Gilian, in category Photography, Saudi Arabia, TRAVEL, Wonders

It’s almost holiday and people are thinking of exploring the other parts of Saudi Arabia like Taif, Abha, Al Ula and Madain Saleh. Unfortunately, Al Ula and Madain Saleh are under renovation and are temporarily closed to the public until proper measures are done to protect the ancient sites. The Royal Commission of Al Ula… Read More

Random| Streets, Satchels, and Swimming areas

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Thoughts, Wonders

Jeddah streets have less people before the breaking of the fast during Ramadan (around 6-7pm).😃 It has been a long time since I walked with my family outside because of the weather in Saudi Arabia, of course. The other day, we decided to walk to our friend’s house because our car was not with us… Read More

Photography | Black Eye 3-Pack 4G Fisheye Lens

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Wonders

I am not a fan of distorted images (yet?), so when my husband gave me the Black Eye Lens accessories for phones I was honestly clueless on what to do with it. Mainly because there are apps with fisheye effect like the Musemage app I’m using. You can check the quick tour I made about… Read More

Photography | Deserts of Arabia + Taking Photos in a Moving Vehicle

by Gilian, in category Jeddah, Photography, Saudi Arabia, Thoughts, TRAVEL, Wonders

It can be difficult to take photos of something too familiar to you. The wonder of seeing something new for the first time and finding interesting subjects in the view can take a long time.

Photography | Stopovers

by Gilian, in category Photography, Saudi Arabia, TRAVEL

I took these photos during a stopover from Jeddah to Yanbu. In the middle of the desert, there’s really not too many options for subjects to use for photography. You just have to look further to find something to take photos of or it will be just deserts for take home memories. 😁 Under the… Read More
