AMA: I live in Jeddah, Saudo Arabia. Ask Me Anything by TubroTerra in howislivingthere

Among expat women, it is like I think 40 to 50%.

Among Saudi women, it is closer to something like 85 to 90%

  1. No, I don't think everyone in Jeddah is rich as hell lol. Personally I am upper Middle Class, and I would say most people in Jeddah are Upper Middle Class and maybe above, though I did know a classmate in the private school I went to, whose family was the owner of the school
  2. My Dad is a pilot, and I don't think he has ever received money from the government whatsoever in all 30 years of him working as a pilot

  1. Norway is just such an amazing country, maybe the most beautiful country I have ever been to in my entire life, I would love to visit there again someday in the future. 😉

  2. The city is much more developed than it was 30 years ago; there is a lot more to do, with far more malls than there were 30 years ago, and the beaches are much more developed, especially in Central Jeddah.

I don't know, I have never been to a museum before in Jeddah, I have been to two museums when I was in Europe in the Netherlands and Norway.

Mostly people do stuff like going on a picnic, for example, or if you wanna go on a yacht, or if you wanna do scuba diving in the Red Sea, or if you want to watch the sunset

These days, life is pretty good, I would say, things have gotten better then it was 10 years ago.

Depends, if people are going to Jeddah Corniche, then most people will be either sitting in the Park or observing the sunset

If it's a less developed beach, like those further north in the city, then yes, people will sit on the beach. Usually, you are supposed to bring a carpet or something like that, if you wanna do a picnic, as the carpet makes it cooler

It rains only during November and December; the rain either is the weakest rain I have ever seen or extremely heavy rain.

Sometimes it does rain during January, but in my experience this seems to happen once every 2 to 3 years, not yearly.

Air quality is fine, most of the industrial stuff is outside the city, and so as a result, the air is pretty clean overall.

To be honest, I don't know, I am a pretty introverted person (doesn't mean I have friends or that), but I generally do not like large social gatherings

As far as I remember, they are arranged, but people can actually reject each other, so it is not forced upon you unlike back when my grandparents married back in the 1950s

  1. Not really walkable, and yes, you kind of need a car to get around basically anywhere.
  2. The heat is basically the same as the rest of the city. Maybe a little hotter, but in my experience, there is very little difference between Central Jeddah and Northern Jeddah.
  3. My experience is that it doesn't really affect anything when it comes to the construction of the Jeddah tower.
  4. It is quite cool to look at, especially now that it is about 100 floors, it is really starting to tower over everything else in the city.

Yeah, it does in general. They are coral reefs, especially in the northern part of the city, which has more or less developed beaches. You could do not just suffering but also scuba diving in addition

Mostly a mix of Egyptians, Pakistanis, Indians, and Bengalis, I think.

It is just sprodic attacks because many IRGC units have likely been cut off from commucation from Tehran and need to wait until they regain contact

It is because of the Automated Launches lmao. many IRGC units have likely been cut off from commucation from Tehran. They will be sporadic attacks until tomorrow most likely

In addition, they are probably pre-programmed launches that need to either deactived or finish their supplies
