In a country where just a few short years ago, a woman riding a bicycle in publc would have been considered scandalous or reason for her to be harassed or detained by the religious police, Saudi Arabia has come a long way in the past couple of years. Today along Jeddah's Waterfront, women can be seen riding bicycles and jogging, enjoying the weather and enjoying life.
I love this symbol of Jeddah. And so does everybody else! And why not? It's cool!
It has certainly dressed up Jeddah's coastline. I see it as a symbol of change, hope, and pride for the people of Jeddah.
It's a good spot for the sign.
