Crikey Mutt,

In another life (80's) I used to live in Jeddah and on my "induction" to Jeddah, SV City was pointed out.

That that looks like a seriously nice place to live, better than where I used to be

I visited the Saudi Aramco Rahima compound in 2007, and that had, in many respects, a similar appearance to your pictures. Not the worse place in the world to live IMHO.

Saudia City was great! Lived there 1978-1989. Last trip there was 1998 and there were a few changes... However I loved my time there and will always remember it fondly not forgetting the 'social life'

Hey Silver!
Where did you live before SV City? Sharbotly Village, or downtown? I was in Sharbotly from '78 til '81, when we were moved en masse cross-town, with one day's notice, to SV City. I stupidly panicked, and dumped 5 gallons of lovingly home-made red before relocating...I regret that to this day!

I was in Shorbatly for a couple of years (70 - 81) before moving to SV City, NC 7 overlooking the garden area.
The socil life was excellant, da on a Wednesday and then Thursday to recover. Nice to see SV City again, after almost 25 years.
