Unexpected Product Packaging

I've seen this tea in the supermarket here in Jeddah many times.  Al Kbous is a Yemeni company with a tea factory here in Saudi Arabia.

I've always wondered why the image on the package is of a graduate. I couldn't find any information about this choice of image on their website, but ironically enough, I did find many grammatical errors on their page.

Very Saudi Architecture

Geometric shapes and patterns are often incorporated into very distinctively Saudi designs.  Geometry is a hugh part of Islamic art.  The designs adorning this restaurant are not as intricate as typical geometric Islamic art but none-the-less, one can quickly identify this style as Saudi.  

Jeddah "VIP" Shop with Misspelled Sign

One would think that a shop for VIPs would make sure that their business sign was spelled correctly.  

Love is in the Air

Going through my old photos since I'm not getting out much these days. These are pics of Valentine's Day displays in a chocolate shop from a few years ago. 

Yummy Felafel

Felafel is a favorite vegetarian Middle Eastern food, made of ground legumes and vegetables, like chick peas, fava beans, scalions, garlic, and parsley. The ground up mixture is formed into ball shapes and then deep fried, but they can also be oven baked.  Most often they are eaten in a pita sandwich, stuffed with things like tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers, peppers, and tahini sauce.  

Jeddah Airport Road Sign

Jeddah's airport has four terminals - North, South, New, and Hajj.  Right now due to the Corona Virus, all international flights have been suspended indefinitely.  Some domestic flights resumed a few weeks ago.  The annual Hajj pilgrimage, when Muslims around the world travel to Saudi Arabia's holy cities of Makkah and Medina, will be different this year. Only Muslims who are already within Saudi Arabia will be allowed to attend in an attempt to curb the virus.
