It is between Hail Street and Medina Road near the 'Balad'. Just behind a filling station at the beginning of Hail Street. lool for the Italian flag. Taxi drivers know it. It is also listed in the phone book. You can phone them !
There is also the more downmarket Greek Club which is at the back of MFI on Palestine Street near the Mecca-Medina Expressway. |

| Mixed. And there is a dress code. At least in the Italian Club, sandals are a no-no ! |

The British Community Library in the British Consulate. Access from a separate entrance on the NE corner. A really great little library. As well as the stock of books - which is as good as a municipal library in the UK - it is a good source of information about what is happening in Jeddah.
Membership is open to British and non-British passport holders but not to Saudi citizens. |

| Maybe the new brand of expats in Jeddah are non-readers ? For those who do read something more advanced than the Beano, check out the library ! |

| An ad for Cambodia. People with strange tastes often go there. And people working for NGO's who disapprove of these strange tastes and try to prevnet people from indulging in them. |

As for me, I am at Fudrucker's every Thursday morning when they open at seven thirty. Good coffee.
I'll treat you to breakfast if you like. |
