Hello world

Hello to everyone from Jeddah. This is the first blog entry. I would like to keep my personal blogs herein.

Jeddah (also spelled Jedda, Jiddah, Jidda, or Juddah) ,a Saudi Arabian city located on the coast of the Red Sea (21.50° N 39.1667° E), is the major urban center in western Saudi Arabia, the largest in the Western Province, and the second largest city in Saudi Arabia after the capital city Riyadh. The population of the city currently stands at over 3.4 million. It is considered as the commercial capital of Saudi Arabia and the wealthiest city in Middle East and western Asia.

Jeddah is the principal gateway to Mecca, the holiest city of Islam, which able-bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in a lifetime. Jeddah is nearly 80 kms to Mecca.

The population of the city is around 3.5 million. It has beautiful places and facilities. I have intention of writing some of my experiences in Saudi Arabia and Jeddah in particular..
