Baries al Gulf

Excuse me No, it’s not Paris it’s Baries

Just 10 years ago young men– called Jeddah the Baries (Paris in English) of the region. I mean, it’s true that Jeddah girls are known for being the prettiest compare to the rest of the gulf. But to be honest in Jeddah you can actually see the girls and you can see their faces too –head cover was more forced then but not the face– maybe that’s why they are prettier hmmmm. Anyways, now a days Dubai is the center of attention in the gulf and the whole world ,but not sure though if we should call Dubai the new Baries or just Moscow Al -Arab hehehe I am being mean!!

Jeddah Gheer!!

Yes, Jeddah is the most diversified city in the whole country. People are friendlier and women don’t have to cover their heads most of the times..

“Jeddah Gheer” means: Jeddah is different. The tourism officials generated this slogan to advertise a national campaign. The campaign was to encourage Saudis to discover their own country and invest their vacation money within the country. The reason behind that is because Saudi does not have a visitor’s Visa system so the country cannot have tourists visiting from outside the gulf region, unless they’re coming to Saudi for religious purposes or for business. Why? I don’t know! But all I know is they had to keep all those luxurious hotels and furnished apartment building’s “In Business” for the whole year around. By the way Jeddah gets really busy and crowded during the holy month Ramadan, the holiday Eid and holy month Hajj.

More about my city to come, live with this for now.
