I’m American but was born and raised in Jeddah and I consider that place my home, my parents understand why but can’t say the like it. I loved growing up there in the 80s. It’s modernised a lot from your video but my favorite thing to do was going 30 minutes outside of the city going to any beach and having the place to yourself for the weekend. I hope to take my daughters some day so they can see it.
I’m originally from Saudi but we live in Cardiff .. That bench is a prayer mat they pull it out during prayer time and a lot of people gather to pray together and they use handle to roll it back after finishing prayer.. hope you enjoy your visit in Saudi, also Id recommend to get a small rental car to get you around or visiting another cities around £25 per day .. if you need any help with any informations hit me up
We love Wales but have never been to Cardiff or Swansea! We saw the roll out prayer mats in use in Medina... they are so cool! Thank you for your great comment and suggestions. We prefer taking buses and trains, rather than planes or rental cars, when travelling... a) to stay within our US$25 budget each per day, and b) as we both like seeing the landscape out the window 😃😁There'll be more videos to come from Jeddah; Medina; Al Ahsa and Dammam/Al Khobar, and we hope you enjoy them 😀 ~ Mandy

So kind of you guys. Highly appreciated such a wonderful behaviour. I will share my friend from France to motivate him to go and look around Holy cities Makkah and Madina. Stay blessed, May Allah bless you guys with wisdom and turn you to accept Islam. Aamen
I have travelled to so many countries from the UK (where I live) mainly to Asia, Mediterranean countries and Indian Ocean Islands (Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius) and being a Muslim I have visited Saudi Arabia 5 times for Hajj and Umrah visiting Makkah and Madinah - however on one of my Umrah trips we did stay in Jeddah for a few days and loved the city
How wonderful you've seen so many awesome places. 😍 After our Jeddah videos we'll show the incredible experience we had in Medinah meeting all the Umrah pilgrims there. What an amazing place! 👍
@@FrugalTravellers Well, the busiest time is now here as the month of Hajj has started yesterday so millions and millions of pilgrims will be doing all the Hajj rituals next week. I think you might have been lucky that you have escaped the busiest time of the year

Hi Lucchese20. Maybe we don't have the expression in English because we don't pay such high regards to the making and consumption of quality food. 😂😂😂 Can't beat the open sea.

Hi Mandy & Lee, what an interesting video. The Indian food looks pretty interesting, stuff that we don't see in our "Indian restaurants" here in Europe. A bit suprising that single men can't access the aquarium, it's a different world. Is it me or you've changed camera / phone, the quality seemed different, sharper. Wishing you a pleasant weekend / week. Take care 😎
Hi Sergio. That Indian food was specifically South Indian, I think from Tamil Nadu, so yes a bit different to what we are used to back home too. It was delicious and a nice introduction to something new. Same camera, GoPro 9. The light must have been good for it on that day. 😁 Maybe we were misled by the sign we read that said families only. It could have been just in that entrance or on a specific time. Have a great weekend ☺️
Wow, I bet it has changed so much since that time. It has great potential to be a major tourist destination. The kind and friendly people make it so special. 👍
@@FrugalTravellers There was a COMPLETE separation between "western expats" and other parts of society at that time. I have a degree in Arabic so I was able to get out and mingle, although very few well-to-do Saudis (men only obviously) did anything but home, car, work, car, home. I worked with Indians from Hyderabad (some who had fled to Pakistan in 1947 and some who had stayed) like your restaurant guy.

Nice vlog, hope you had a nice stay there, just a couple of comments, the aquarium isn’t a family-only, I’m single and entered it, what they targeting by 2030 isn’t a 100 million tourists, their target officially is a 100 million visits, so if you are let's say a Kuwaiti citizen and entered Saudi (Kuwaitis and the citizens of the GCC countries can enter Saudi without even having a passport) and spent one day in Riyadh and spent the next day in Jeddah, this counts two visits, actually the visits are counted even if the visit isn’t for tourism, and by this meaning they already scoring more than a 70 million visits annually, Mecca alone can secure 30% of their target easily
Wow, thanks so much for this interesting information, Abdul. We had no idea that they calculate it this way. I'm sure tourism will grow more and more here as many people will want to come and experience this fascinating culture. So many interesting places to discover here. 👍😊 ~ Lee

IBFAN also alleges that Nestlé uses "humanitarian aid" to create markets, does not label its products in a language appropriate to the countries where they are sold, and offers gifts and sponsorship to influence health workers to promote its products.[25] The company not only made use of mass media promotion (e.g. billboards and posters) and sample distributions, they also had sales people dressed as so-called “milk nurses” to visit mothers in hospital and at their home to praise formula and its benefits.[26][27][10]

Bismillah means a start or a beginning of an action to help through allah, the term is bit loose but means will & strength. Lord give me will & strength to carry on etc, it is more of an asking kind for Allahs guidance, but nowadays loosely used to start a meal and we end with Al-Humdulillah, please forgive my rough translation.

hmm.. it may seem its is beautiful now... not sure how it was beautiful when Big Dada Idi Amin was given asylum in 1979.. its like Saudi approved the expulsion of Indians in 1972I happen to question the soul of this nation when I visited Jeddah and Madina this year.Simply petro dollars at work *A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.* MKG

@05013579 Thank you.

Jeddah has more than 50 km along the sea. Some places are private, resorts, houses, and cornich. Some places are really beautiful specially the resorts and some are not very well maintained. Most popular places on cornich are the floating mosque and fountain.

Thank you for your kind comment.
Nestle has been criticised for many things such as:
Child labour, unethical promotion, manipulating uneducated mothers, pollution, price fixing, and mislabeling
One major issue has been to do with promoting infant formula, which contributes to causing the deaths of babies
From Wikipedia:
Advocacy groups and charities have accused Nestlé of unethical methods of promoting infant formula over breast milk to poor mothers in developing countries.[23][24] For example, IBFAN claims that Nestlé distributes free formula samples to hospitals and maternity wards; after leaving the hospital, the formula is no longer free, but because the supplementation has interfered with lactation, the family must continue to buy the formula. IBFAN also alleges that Nestlé uses "humanitarian aid" to create markets, does not label its products in a language appropriate to the countries where they are sold, and offers gifts and sponsorship to influence health workers to promote its products.[25] The company not only made use of mass media promotion (e.g. billboards and posters) and sample distributions, they also had sales people dressed as so-called “milk nurses” to visit mothers in hospital and at their home to praise formula and its benefits.[26][27][10]

Thank you, Azzam. It's always great to hear the opinions of the people who actually live there.
When was that? Why is it cloudy?
Late January. We are running behind with so many more Saudi videos to come. 😁. The weather then was quite pleasant. Sometimes even cool in the evening.
ohhh man u did very well on your own but really if you want to see the most u need someone local and your experience will be totally different
We totally know what you mean. In our next video we spend it with a local who introduces us to some great new food and much more! 😁👍
@@FrugalTravellers ohh I'll go watch it happy you enjoyed my country
I live in Jeddah 😊❤
Unfortunately u guys took the wrong way on the Cornish first time that was the old Cornish the other way is the new one
The other direction was closed off due to renovations and we were kicked off by security guards unfortunately. 😊
Actually al saudi love cheese and dairy products More.
That's so interesting, Daniel. Thanks for sharing this.
That's great to know. Thank you 🙏
Good

Thank you for taking the time to comment.
hmm.. it may seem its is beautiful now... not sure how it was beautiful when Big Dada Idi Amin was given asylum in 1979.. its like Saudi approved the expulsion of Indians in 1972I happen to question the soul of this nation when I visited Jeddah and Madina this year.Simply petro dollars at work

We show what we see and experience when we visit a place.
@@FrugalTravellers I appreciate you allowing my comments without filtering! happy trekking. Cheers.

If we return to Saudi Arabia we will try to add it to our itinerary. 👍
Thanks for watching our videos and for all of the support. We appreciate it! 🙏👍😊 ~ Lee
@@FrugalTravellers I’ll be keeping an eye on you text guys at Anytime 🙏🏽 Safe travels.
Jeddah is kinda outdated you should’ve visited Al ULA.
So many people told us that we should visit Al Ula, but we ran out of time. It's definitely on our list of places to visit when we return to Saudi Arabia 😃😁
Sorry to say the video didn’t do Jeddah ‘s corniche any justice ..
I know! We were so looking forward to seeing the Corniche... it was at the top of my list of places to see in KSA, and the reality was very different from what I'd expected! Wait until the next videos to see why we ended up such an awesome time in Jeddah! ~ Mandy
He gave his own experience, not every video has be an advertisement to Jeddah, the city has it's faults also it's not always fun
@05013579 Thank you. We always try to see the positives in a place, as everywhere has pros and cons... it was just a bit difficult to enjoy the Jeddah Corniche when we were there in January, and it made the Corniche in Al Khobar seem amazing!
Thank you for not taking our comments personally. We knew we might offend some people but we wanted to give our honest opinion. ~ 😁😊 Mandy
Jeddah has more than 50 km along the sea. Some places are private, resorts, houses, and cornich. Some places are really beautiful specially the resorts and some are not very well maintained. Most popular places on cornich are the floating mosque and fountain.
@Drift240sxSAT Thank you for the great information! We were on foot so couldn't see much of the 50km of coastline, and unfortunately missed out on the Floating Mosque and fountain for an excellent reason which you'll see in an upcoming video 😃😁 ~ Mandy
