Homeland

Flagpole of Jeddah / Jeddah

I was born and raised in the south of Jeddah, next to The Red Sea, which we call “The Red Bride”. I love all the places in my heart. I miss all of its streets, the warmth of its atmosphere, its high humidity and our neighbors.

In Jeddah, my father used to take me every weekend to the sea and buy me ice cream. I was waiting for the weekend eagerly. I have very beautiful memories in Jeddah. I miss those days and hope to visit the city and my family soon.
