Jeddah Street Scene


This is just a typical street seen in Jeddah showing a variety businesses on the block, each with their colorful Arabic signs.  A woman walking on the left is wearing the traditional black abaya worn by women when they are out in public here in Saudi Arabia.

Is that a key above the shawarma shop? Is there a locksmith there?

Beautiful atmosphere of shopping street!

I find myself wondering if pizza in your part of the world would be all that different from here. No ham, obviously.

Hi William - Yes, pizza is pretty much the same here in KSA. There are turkey and beef products that make fairly good substitutes for the usual pork products like bacon, sausage, and ham.

Yes, Jerry - I don't think it's for the shawarma shop but for the one next door. Visuals like this are really important here for advertising what type of business it is because there are so many languages spoken here.
