JEDDAH - during Ramadan

This board is dedicated to my place of birth, which I have only visited twice since we left in the 80’s. I visit it now in 2023 during Ramadan and with my husband who was born and raised there. Our trip is short (2.5 days) but will hopefully be very eventful. Note: keep in mind that due to the fasting hours, lots of shops and activities may close at different hours than usual. Everything is open after iftar (breaking of the fast) till late. Check before you go anywhere! You can’t eat in public during Ramadan.
