most of the reasons we were looking at going. but all the info we got was for a different area and wanted a true opinion on what its like in Jeddah, Thanks for the reply
Sam,
Jeddah is just scruffy in many areas, But it has a beech and is alot more relaxed than Riyadh where i am.
Id say give it a go its worth it for the experience. Ive been over here 2 years now so you do get used to it.
The oppertunity for travel while over here is great, Bahrain, Oman, Dubai, Qatar and Eygpt are all 90 minutes away so good for weekend trips.
Sharm El Sheikh is a 50 minute flight from Jeddah.
