Jeddah is not all desert as seen here. It has a beautiful coastline, right here is the red sea. in the bible, moses led the israelites out of egypt to the promised land. to get to the promised land theyll need to cross the red sea. when the israelites got to the red sea, moses raised his staff and parted the sea so the israelites can cross. the egyptians were pursuing them however when they got to the red sea, yahweh put the sea back and drowned the soldiers. this story seemed amazing to me and i felt glad and lucky to have seen and even bathe in the red sea.
downtown area
i live in a place were there is very short distance from the land to the sea and the land to the mountains. the first time i saw jeddah from above (when i first arrived here a year and a half ago) my first thought was "this place is so flat". i have never seen something like this before, it looked like a road map laid on a very big table from above. in cebu, the flat lands or plains dont stretch out as large as here.
