How it is to walk in the Middle East (1) Jeddah & Alexandria. Hi, I`m a -not so proud- Egyptian, later in this passage you.ll find out why this lack of pride Exists. I was born in Jeddah, a city.. actually a beautiful city in Saudi Arabia, with the school and the government in KSA keeping the word Egyptian next to my name all the time, I had no problems what so ever growing up with my Saudi Friends and neighbors, no one has Ever made me feel like I don`t belong.. However, when I went to Egypt for college And after A couple of years and a few good Friends, I still Feel Like an outsider, my egyptian friends laugh at my pronunciation for some word and they never stopped calling me "saudi". Egypt With all the things you know about is a huge lie, It`s simply a land where you are not free to do anything with out Every single person Judging u and they Even try to hold u from doing what you want, with all possible ways even if it meant Cracking up your skull. you will probably wonder how this is coming from a man who lived in one of the most closed minded communities ever "KSA", Here`s the thing that will shock you: Jeddah`s people respect each other`s personal space more than a lot of liberal countries, they mind their business and they are very open minded about lots of things such as homosexuality when most of Egypt are very aggressive against men wearing pink and stupid things like girls wearing Hijab or not and Girls riding bikes or motorcycles. any way, I`ll be writing about a few things I learned about the middle east from traveling around and going to few cities and countries in this damned spot of the globe.
