The Jeddah Weekend (3 of 3)

And we're down to our last day in Jeddah! (Yes, yes... it took me quite a while to post this. It's been weeks since DAY 1 and DAY 2. So sorry!)

As you've probably seen in our Facebook page, this is the day we went to a beach resort. But first, if you still have time in the morning, a perfect way to spend it is to see Jeddah's historical district in Balad. Lucky for us, it's just a stone throw away from our hotel so we always pass by this area and take shots while we're in the taxi. However, we should've really got down and roamed around to see the old houses up close. A friend once mentioned that it's actually closed off and there were guards but they're probably more lenient on women in roaming around and taking photographs of the area.
