I arrived to Jeddah the week before the world caught fire. Over the following two years, I moved right into the heart of all things unholy!

One weekend, we and some of our friends decided to camp in Harithi (about 3 hours from Jeddah in east direction). The drive towards Taif up to the escarpment was pretty pleasant, but the path to Harithi campsite was very rough and steep.

Balad, the old Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, is a walled city still exhibiting the charm of the medieval times. It is an enchanting experience that I would like to share with others.

I was working in Jeddah for a few days, which, unless you're a pilgrim, is the main reason westerners go to Saudi Arabia. When there I was taken around the city by a family staying out there. Thanks to John Barbara and Jasmine. Apologies for the lack of photos on this journal - they don't like you taking photos in KSA for some reason. If you take your camera in/out of the country you're liable to have your used films confiscated.
