Paragliding near Jeddah

Hello,

I am recently arrived in Jeddah. I am looking for a paragliding club or group.
Does anybody knows about it?

Thank you very much.

Drive up the Kings Road towards the globe, when you pass the Red Sea Mall on the left side, you will see an open area of land on the right side with kids amusements and football...... You will also see a small hangar with Saudi Aviation Club written on it...... Go see them....
We used to fly from this area on weekends, but alas no longer.....

I'd be afraid of getting shot down by the dumb-ass police. But then of course, a paraglider might look like something superstitious and everybody would run like hell!

Hope you don't break a leg... if so, good luck getting it fixed properly in "the kingdom"...

Then again they'll probably behead you for spying.
