This post is more than 4 years old, and yes, I have discovered that there is a lot more for women to do in Jeddah than shop in the luxurious and amazing malls here. Unfortunately it took a while for me to stop waiting around for my husband to help me enjoy living here or to take me places as it seems he has no interest in either one. I've written many posts since this one about some pretty cool things I've done and enjoyed about living here. Thanks again!Susie of Arabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315336613944665651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-13853856482360031012013-04-27T18:55:55.304+03:002013-04-27T18:55:55.304+03:00Hi Susie,

I realize this is probably an old post, but I just wanted to say that there is much more than just shopping here at Jeddah. (I hope by now you found that out).<br />You could go to the beach for the weekend, or go hiking, or like me and my family do on fridays, we get breakfast and spend the morning before dhuhur prayer at Kornish. You can also go to the Aquarium that just opened, or barbeque at the Mamsha near Hilton.<br />Or you could pick up a copy of Destination Jeddah magazine - that's always helpful.<br />I really hope your stay at Jeddah gets more interesting.<br />All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-72713126988250753132013-03-05T23:36:17.906+03:002013-03-05T23:36:17.906+03:00Wow, that is so beautiful!!!

I really like your posts and as I will be going to Umrah, was doing some research about where to shop in Jeddah and found all your beautiful pics, very informative thank you! But I am looking for malls which have the 'women only' option, I have noticed a lot of comments regarding the 'segregation' between men and women, and of course I understand why being not Muslim it is difficult to grasp or see the benefits, great wisdom and beauty of it. I am a teacher of islamic studies, and I 'explain' about Islam to non-Muslims regarding different topics but especially topics related to women. I understand that you feel that 'there are not a lot of options available oustide the home for entertainment' for women, but let me tell you that as a Muslim woman I lived in London for many years and that there were ABSOLUTELY nothing to do as a Muslim woman there, only few conferences here and there, and we had to organise ourselves for outing which was extremely hard to do sometimes, providing that free-mixing is totally normal in western societies. Many of us would suffer from depression due to isolation, over-work (to be able to have somebody helping you with housework and the children is such a blessing you cannot imagine!)......... I can say that life started when I came to the Gulf and I now feel happy, comforted, safe, confident....and much more!<br /><br />thank you for your time reading my post and thank you for all your lovely pics about Jeddah!<br /><br />Talibah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-73709609893390749822012-03-11T12:23:41.521+03:002012-03-11T12:23:41.521+03:00Hi Susie,

Please tell me the stores in these malls stock clothes in 'western' sizes - I'm a US size 10 - 12. My husband is 6ft 6 and broad - do you know if he will have trouble buying clothes in Saudi? Also, is it more or less expensive than equivalent items in the USA? Should I stock-up before I arrive? <br /><br />Sorry for all the questions, but we're finding it difficult to get reliable info - any advice would be much appreciated<br /><br />Warm regards,<br />AdnreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441397228107781052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-55456042963814733172011-09-03T13:12:05.205+03:002011-09-03T13:12:05.205+03:00Susie-- thanks so much for this post.
