Jeddah

Remember a few months ago a group of 10th and 11th grade American students visited Saudi Arabia? I first read about it at Cross Roads Arabia.

By searching for Jeddah on Vimeo, I found this video that they made:

I was searching for Jeddah because I hope to go there during the holidays and hoping to make a video like Philip Bloom’s (his latest Vince’s People was nice, but I liked the Dublin’s People video a lot more) and was hoping that no one beat me to it… a lot of hope as you see… but where would we be without hope?

I did find this video for Jeddah City Tourism… and I hope you enjoy it ;) :)

P.S. for the lack of a better title, I will just call this post Jeddah

Jeddah-2

  2. I liked both the videos here, especially the music, and the individual visuals, but the speed of changing the images is distracting (and potentially dangerous to an epileptic!). I still prefer Jeddah to Riyadh though there were some great images of Riyadh.

    I liked the rhythm of Bloom’s videos better, though I think Venice Beach, even the California one, has a broader selection of people than those he chose to feature.

    I’m really looking forward to your video!

  3. I enjoyed seeing what the American students saw there. Lovely country!!

  4. Great video!
    I truly enjoyed it…

    Despite all its problems, I just can’t help loving Jeddah!

    Thanks Qusay

  5. You know, I dont know half the places in both videos!
    tells you how far I been from Jeddah.

    Looking forward to your video

  6. Chiara, thanks a million

    Yes the tourism video was a too fast, and the student video was too short.

    My video… We will see, I hope it comes out good in the end :)
