Saudi Arabian Nights
Author
Well, I'm a bit of a strange expat, as in I have lived most of my life in Saudi, but as always as and expat. The laws here prevent mefrom applying for aor being granted citizenship. There is always the threat of your residency permit expiring and not being renewed, and you being shipped 'back to your country of origin'. Born in Pakistan, brought up in Saudi ,went to uni in the UK, and back again in Saudi for now at least .. but loving the expat lifestyle all the same :-)> I'm an educator, a wannabe writer, a loving daughter amd sister and last but not least a Muslim. I blog about my life in Jeddah, restaurant reviews, sometimes recipes, store launches, brands, fashion, and much much more

Thank you for stopping by my blog and your comments. I know there isn't much to do besides eating..and for girls shopping, but like you said, the exploring does become worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed my posts :-), always rewading to get positive ffeedback, if you've tried the places yourself, I'd appreciate your comments on my blog of your experiences of say Paul/Durrat China/Zodiac, and any ther posts that you like.
Regards,
Misha
I would like to acknowledge your blog as I came across it first time today via expat blog. Then I moved back to check on your profile on expat blog.
I share the same interest as yours of exploring eateries (and other worth exploring places)in Jeddah. (That is why when I took the first dip on your blog, I came out after reading 3 posts:p)
Dont know if there is much more to do here but its interesting to see the variety of eateries that can be found in Jeddah and surprisingly the exploring becomes worthwhile.
And not just relating to the eateries but I would also appreciate your review of hip stores like your review of "The Store".
I just read your review of "the Store", "Guide to british English" (totally relatable) and "Paul Bakery".
Regards,Wakas
