I believe it's Jeddah. Not sure what market they're pitching at, Skip, but as you say, SV are perhaps not so much a commercial outfit as a traditional flag carrier flying the flag wherever they think it's valuable to do so. MAN can take that as a compliment. It doesn't always work out, as we have seen with Biman, but look at how many flag carriers from the Arab world have recently started or enhanced service to MAN and you can see why they are interested. Libyan, Tunisian, Egyptair, Turkish, not to mention the GB3.
