Folks! The incredible Old Town of the city of Jeddah, on the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. Take a detailed look and walk through the street of Al Balad and check out the shops, mosques, historic houses and meet perhaps my first ever Saudi subscribers! Not to mention the cats of Al-Balad! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/lxzeqNa2RtU Thanks …
G’day all! Today I wanted to write a post for you on Saudi-Arabia which I visited last year as part of my journey from Dhaka to Dakar. As it is a destination that hasn’t been accessible until pretty recently I thought I would do a post about it for you letting you know some basic …
Howdy all. A little while back I shared some examples of the currencies of the countries I passed through - starting with Bangladesh and Pakistan (I had shared some Indian Rupee a while ago from a previous trip). So today I continue this travel through currency, and I have some Rial from Oman and some …
Howdy all. Today’s review sees me talk about a place I only stayed one night, close to the King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah. I had an early morning flight and I didn’t want to have to negotiate my way to the airport at 5am in the morning to catch my onward flight to Cairo, so …

Howdy all, time for another Accommodation Review as I like to call them! Back in time to late February and my digs whilst I stayed in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. This was my first hotel in Saudi after spending the night on the bus coming from Dubai, and knowing I was getting in …

G’day all. Today I wrap up my Saudi series with a dip in the Red Sea that divides Egypt from Saudi Arabia. Snorkelling and diving is a popular activity for those visiting Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, but it is perfectly possible to do the activity from the other side, as I did. The company I …

G’day all. Hope today’s post finds you well. Last week I took you to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh as my introduction to the country. From there it was a long day bus to Jeddah, perhaps the most open (in the past at least) of Saudi Arabia’s cities. Sitting in a great location on …
Folks, it was hard to imagine what Riyadh was going to be like before I visited it earlier this year. I had a bit of an idea about Jeddah, but my first stop in Saudi Arabia was the capital, in the middle of the country and seemingly far from anything. So I wasn’t really sure …

G’day folks, today I am starting a few weeks of blogs about a country that up until a few years ago was not so easy for foreigners, unless on a Haaj pilgrimage, to visit, but in 2023 it’s a much more open country than it has been in the past. I am of course talking …
