Jeddah Fun !
I spent three years there, from 91 to 94, when I was in my late twenties.
I lived on Sharbatly first [what a tip] and then latterly in Binzagr compound, which is alongside Madinah Road going North, almost opposite the Juffali building I recall.
What a time - getting pissed all the time, home-made beer etc brewing away in the bathroom.
Nocturnal visits to Arabian Homes for parties, chasing nurses from the National Guard Hospital who lived at the old Sheraton Hotel !
The souk the last poster refers to might have been the Filipino Souk. It had a cracking chinese/filipino restaurant in it.
The only thing I worried about then was either getting killed driving whilst hammered drunk or getting lifted for having a girlfried in the car.
