SLATED FOR DEMOLITION

Many slum areas of Jeddah have already been demolished and many more are scheduled to be torn down in the near future. The buildings are unsightly, in disrepair, and house mostly lower paid foreign workers. 

Despite the mess, I still manage to find beauty in these buildings

JEDDAH RANDOM PHOTOS

Business signs here are often written in both Arabic and English - so it's actually unusual to see 3 signs next to one another without English on them.  

Watermelon season in Jeddah - lots for sale out of trucks and cars on the side of the road.

Pale pink doors - one for tall people, and one for short people.  LOL!
