RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGWhether you are here for business or on leisure the ideal way to start your day is with breakfast in one of the numerous cafes near the hotel. If I had to pick one, it would be Caffe Aroma. A delightful morning can also be spent wandering the seething streets of the Old Town (Al Balad), an area that has retained the charm of the Jeddah of yesteryear. Browse through the bazaar offering traditional wares, and afterwards, visit any one of the nearby museums, like the Naseef Museum. |
AFTERNOONYour perfect afternoon will start with a spot of lunch at one of the most popular food emporiums in town. The Al Baik food chain is an institution, selling roast chicken that is out of this world. Trust me, it's a must. After lunch, head 20 minutes out of town to Obhur, a scenic spot on the shores of the Red Sea. From the nearby Al Ahlam Marina you can hire a jetski or boat, or try scuba diving in the coral reefs off the coast. If you have time to spare, round off the afternoon with some traditional Arabic coffee and local dates which all in Jeddah will offer. |
EVENINGSpend the evening on Tahlia Street, one of the region's most famous streets. Lined with shopping malls it's full of international brand-name stores selling every conceivable item. For Aroma somewhere to eat I recommend the upmarket Black Rose restaurant nearby, especially if it's dinner for two. |
LOCAL CULTUREDress and الشماغ or ghutra is the national dress aIn compliance with local laws and customs, Restaurants and public areas offer different sections for " Families/Ladies and a different area for Gentlemen" HOSPITALITYSaudi people will often invite visitors to their homes to share food with them. To reject the offer could be considered a grave insult. RELIGIONAll the shops and restaurants are closed during the five daily prayer times (times vary) for 20 to 30 minutes. |
DID YOU KNOW ?ClothingIn Saudi Arabia men are not allowed to wear shorts in public; for ladies it is mandatory to wear a black gown called an abaya before venturing out in public. Holy KoranSaudi Arabia is one of the biggest publishers of the Holy Koran in the world. Upon completing their Hajj, each pilgrim is given a Holy Koran as a gift. Jeddah FountainOne of the tallest fountains in the world, with a spray 260 metres high, it is located just in front of our hotel. OilSaudi Arabia is one of the top producers of oil in the world and has 25 percent of the world's known oil reserves. |
WHAT TO PACKLocal CurrencyIt is recommended to exchange some money - just enough to cover airport incidentals and transportation to the hotel - before you leave home, so you can avoid unpleasant queues at the airport ATMs. Summer clothesThe weather is nearly always hot and sunny. Light clothing is advised, but do bring at least one heavier garment for air-conditioned interiors. |
