Easier than I thought!

by KiwiMrsMac

We only visited Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. One of the first things I was told was that as Jeddah is a seaside town, they are more relaxed than other parts of Saudi Arabia. And they were right! Sure I wore my abaya everytime I went out, but I didn't have my head covered, but then neither did about half of the other women out and about.And with regard to the abaya, its not just a shapeless black coat, most of them have clever embroidery, sequins, patterns, and I saw my first green abaya. Even saw a Fendi one. Fashion has caught up with the abaya!!!We visited the Sheraton Beach Resort in Jeddah, and went snorkling, with the children. Beautiful.I had my hair and nails done in a lovely salon in Jeddah (sorry I can't remember its name). It was odd that people were smoking in a salon, but hey, not everywhere in the world is smokefree yet.I was completely taken by surprise with the number of...

How to reach Half Moon Bay from Khobar Cornice

by MirrorCrax

drive beside the khobar corniche in the direction opposite to dammam, and keep driving so that you have the restaurant area to your left (friday's, chillis, ...etc.) you'll reach a light with airline building to your left, turn left and keep driving so that you have the sea front visible on your left, untill the road twists a bit to the right leading to a roundabout, take a left so that the sea front remains on your left still, you'll find an area with a lot of gardens called (el shebeily) you may not be able to see the sea so clearly but its still on your left, untill you reach an area where you see a desalination plant, turn right so that the plant is on your left and keep driving straight all the way you'll eventually find yourself ont he half moon road

Business visa

by lovely_samir

Hi,Do you have single entry visa? if yes then you can renew it here and continue you stay but you can not exit and come back on single entry business visa. If you have multipal entry visa then I think you can not extend or renew but you can exit and come back on same visa untill visa valid.Regards

Visa to Saudi Arabia

by Fullmoon2day

Dear, you can apply for a visa through a travel agency in London. They do Umra trips and in this case you do not need a sponser. Also approach the embassy and ask for a tourist visa (this is a new type of visa). Validy of visas usually do not exceed one month but renewable from local immigration office. Don't bring heavy cloths waether in Jeddah and Makkah is around 28- 36C until May.

Internet charges on - april 2008

by MirrorCrax

for internet charges...here's an idea..you have the regular 56kbps phone line connection by dialing a number and paying a small amount charged to your phone bill for the amoun of time you use, i think its something like 2SR / hour or something... but its very slowyou have another option of adsl ... which has different costs depending on the speed you desire and the isp you will have your account with...generally speaking you pay for 2 things when getting dsl....you pay saudi telecom a monthly fee for adsl service 128kb is 90sr/month, 256 is 100sr/month,...etc.and you purchase a prepaid dsl account from an isp, which varies depending on the isp, prices have dropped significantly lately and keep dropping (they're still higher than many other countries)the latest offer i'm currently using is 450sr for 256kbps duration of 3 months from saudi net, however, saudi net made an offer of doubling...

Religion is the Epitome of Saudia

by Manyana

Ok, i grew up on this land and i have been blessed to have the chance to look at it as an insider and outsider, having lived in the west and received western education compared to my islamic and arabian upbringing. i got to tell you, it's frustrating to spend the rest of your life comparing and contrasting, and just complaining if things could be better on either side. however, sometimes i find it fascinating to experience all of this and live as a cultural adventurer, taking the risk of break these rules and applying them to a different context. what i want to say is that there is a very distinctive identity for every culture i have lived in. for Saudia, this distinction resides in Religion. It is the epitome of living in and being Saudi. Locals literally pray for anything they do or have. Even the common use of expressions are religiously embedded. it doesn't have to do with being...

Travel and Work in Saudi Arabia

by ichtergl

Just entering the country - from the moment you get off the plane or drive into the country you will see an abrupt transformation of lifestyle - women covered completely only in black abayas - often even gloved and veiled. The vast majority of men will wear traditional Thobe and Gutra with the Egal. There is also strict observance of the prayer calls 5 times a day and ALL businesses close. Even the airport checkin lines and gas stations and restaurants unless you are in a 5 star hotel. You will often see herds of roaming camels when outside of the city but if you see herders they will usually be hired help from another country. Alcohol and Pork products are strictly prohibited. Beheading and amputations in public are still routinely used punishments and are an effective deterrent. I felt much safer there than in any large city in the USA. I also loved to go fishing in Saudi Arabia on the...
