Shopping in Jeddah! :)

Let me tell you about our Jeddah trip last weekend. Jeddah is a 3 hour drive away from our city. It's about 1 millon times bigger than Yanbu and 1 million times more fun. I love all the shopping malls and how stuff are somewhat cheaper than in Manila.
Well anyways here are my favorite places there (in no particular order):

Ikea

I just love Ikea. I love their model rooms and houses. I love all the beautiful furniture they sell. It's just too bad they don't have an Ikea Warehouse in Manila. :( Here are a few shots of their models:


I love this bed. <3



Mall of Arabia
Next up is Mall of Arabia. I really love this mall because they have everything. They have Forever21, H&M, New Look, etc. I love buying clothes here, although the down side of shopping in Saudi is you're not allowed to try the clothes on. Their Forever21 is smaller than the one in Megamall, Manila but they have a lot of stuff on sale.

Corniche Commercial Center

If you're looking for a place to get good bargains on cellphones, perfumes, watches, accesories and shoes, this is the place to go. You can bargain with the shop keepers on the lowest price. Also there's this resto where they server really good Filipino food.





Gold Souk in Balad

Just a few blocks from the Corniche is the gold souk in Balad. Saudi Arabia is known for really good quality gold. The gold souk in Balad is a really good place to buy it. Here you will find lots and lots of gold and silver shops with windows that are decorated with beautiful gold pieces. 






This concludes my favorite places in Jeddah.

'Till next time. Ciao! :)
