TRANSLATING TO ENGLISH

A Jeddah pasta restaurant calls itself "Macroni" in English

Paper floormat from the dealership got the word "appreciate" wrong, omitting both the R & T

On the right, "Enterance" seems ok and makes sense

No misspelling here, just a pretty exterior mall pic

 

AT A JEDDAH MALL

I like the festive banners in this shop.

Can you spot the employee in the photo above? She's rather hard to see, but she's right in the middle of the pic.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING PRAYER TIME

When smaller kiosks close for prayer times or non-business hours, many of them simply cover up and drape their merchandise with large cloths. 

It's common to see workers pray outside shops in malls. Often prayer rugs are available for whoever wants to use them. 

Thievery is rare in Saudi Arabia, where penalties can be very stiff. Most people in this country are honest and respectful of others' property.

RAMADAN IS ALMOST HERE

Mall window displays wishing a Happy Ramadan

Ramadan is just around the corner. It is the month when Muslims fast during the day. Each day from sun up until sundown, food and drink cannot be consumed.  The fast is broken when the sun goes down each evening.  This year Ramadan will take place during the whole month of April, beginning on April 1st and ending on the 30th.
