Our World: Jeddah's Abandoned Cars

One of my biggest pet peeves here in Jeddah are the unsightly abandoned and disabled vehicles that are parked all over the city.  They are covered in a thick layer of dust and many have flat tires or show evidence of accidents. 

It's depressing seeing these unattractive pieces of junk sitting on the streets of Jeddah.

These abandoned cars take up valuable parking spaces.  They need to be dealt with and removed!

I have tons more photos of abandoned vehicles around this city.  Why can't something be done about this problem?

 

Some empty lots are filled with dozens of abandoned cars that have been sitting there for years.  There are also dozens of abandoned cars taking up valuable parking spaces at the Jeddah airport too.

The rubble, the garbage, and the abandoned vehicles - such a lovely sight!  NOT!

Domino's Pizza in Arabic

Jeddah is home to many worldwide business chains.  Domino's Pizza offerings are not exactly the same as one might be able to get in the USA because pork products are strictly prohibited.

This is a typical street scene of the oldest part of Jeddah is called Al Balad. 

Jeddah: Al Balad Door

I have a thing for doors, always have.  I love going down to the old part of Jeddah, called Al Balad, to take photos of the crumbling buildings and the old doors.  This area of the city has so much character, history, and mystery about it.

Saudi Arabia: Spelling Blooper

I am constantly attracted by the written word, and I get a kick out of seeing spelling and grammar bloopers on signs, menus, and other items.  This sign says "Please keep your pelongings under your observation."

CDP Theme Day: Movement

Many of the narrow streets in Al Balad - the oldest section of Jeddah - are so narrow that they cannot accommodate vehicles.  This scene is from the textile souk, where there is constant activity moving bolts of fabric on man-powered flatbeds from one shop to another.

Today is the first of the month, which means it's theme day for City Daily Photo bloggers.  City Daily Photo is an online community of photo bloggers from around the world, sharing the wonders of their area of the world pictorially with others.  Each month there is a different theme that CDP members can participate in.  This month's theme is "Movement."
