    Actually this view is from the 13th floor but the building has the first floor as the ground floor and the ground floor is the basment(just so we don`t have the number 13).
    But still a wonderful view form the top.

    Ever since I was a child this was almost the only entertainment in Jiddah.
    My father used to take us on weekends(it`s Thursdays & Fridays here)to camp at the beach.
    We had a tent and my father and my brothers used to set it up and go fishing all day and night.
    Now(where we used to camp is all built up with houses and the coast line has been moved further west(the government actually dumped the water with sands to make Jiddah a little wider).
    This is a picture of a private beach I go there with my family(kids and husband)to have a swim and to snorkel.

    Take a boat out to the reefs/wrecks on the Red Sea. There is coral near the surface for snorkellers and wrecks for the divers.
    We went with Ahlam (Dream) Divers for the day. We left around 0830, and got back at 1830. Ample food and drinks were provided. We went to 3 different locations, the divers were dropped off, and then the snorkellers, and all were picked up by the boat at each place.
    It's also a great way to meet other people, and to find out about other events.
    On the way back, we trawled for fish, and caught a few.

    boat on the corniche
    by TomorrowsAngel
    You should definitely take a boat down the corniche in late afternoon one weekend.
    The public beaches are normally full of kids on camels, shetland ponies and 4-wheelers.
    There are families walking down the corniche pavement, stopping for picnics....

    Most camel rides are located along the sea front(Corniche).
    A five minute ride costs about 10 Riyals(less than 2$).

    Jeddah Beach
    by majed81
    Beach in Jeddah has a superb spirit. Just the
    smell of the beach gives power to express
    your self.

    You could buy ice cream, eat traditional fast
    food made with chickpea and pickles called
    (Balela).

    Stands (Koshok) are everywhere selling
    crackers, drinks, coffee and fresh juice.

    Long walks are the main exercise practiced
    by everybody in Jeddah
