Modern
Jeddah
Amazing
buildings downtown,
especially the National
Bank Building the
towers over
everything else.
Modern mosques,
major housing works,
even if they've been
empty the whole
time, other than
when the Kuwaitis
moved in during the
Gulf war. (Rumour
has it they were
built in an attempt
to get Bedouins into
normal houses,
but perhaps they
found them a little
cramped after the
desert. Also, there weren't
sufficient lifts to
have one for men and
another for
women!).
