    Well am in Jeddah... 80's the golden age.. a few more roads and buildings... everything else.. the same . I presume you stayed at a compound during your stay.. recall its name?

    We lived in Saudia City.
    I really miss going to the beach every Friday, going to the souk downtown, and the shwarma.

    Saudi City.. still there.. yet nothing like the 80's... kinda rundown and neglected compared to other compounds ... such a shame..
    Lots of people who lived there had fond memories.. shwarma.. a must .. and the beach.. well its the Red Sea.. what can I say..

    Yeah, the Red Sea is beautiful. I got scuba certified the month before we moved back to the U.S. and haven't been diving since.

    Thanks, my friend. That's about all the Arabic I know. I speak Aramaic and Farsi. I am glad you found this place. You will enjoy it. Stay well.
