It is the holy city of all Muslims where the prophet Mohammed, peace upon him, was born. The God has honoured it of His Holy Book (Quran), in which it is given eleven different names, including: Makah, Al-Balad Al-Amin, Al-Haram Al-Amaky and Um-Al-Qura. It’s located in the west region of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the narrow sandy valley of Abraham and revered by Muslims because it contain the Masjid Alharam (the holy mosque).

Saudi Aid for Refugees in Africa


The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been greatly concerned with the problem of African refugees in Sudan and Somalia, and of the victims of conflicts in Chad. The assistance in money, foodstuffs, medical supplies, and shelter provided to refugees in these areas amounted to more than 170,000 million Saudi Riyals. In addition, the Kingdom donated 122,500,000 Saudi Riyals for the UN's first and second conferences for assistance to refugees in Africa.
Some countries of the African continent have been hit by natural disasters such as the earthquakes in the Algerian city of Al-Shleif, the hurricanes in the Comoro Islands and Madagascar, and the ravaging floods in some African countries. The Kingdom has promptly come to the rescue of the victims of such disasters by providing assistance in money and in kind and by contributing in the reconstruction programs. The Kingdom provided a total of 618 million Saudi Riyals to seven countries: Algeria, Tunisia, Somalia, Comoro Islands, Madagascar and Nigeria.

Wedding in Saudi Arabia


Good Luck for the BrideIn Saudi Arabia, when men and women want to get married, they prefer to buy new clothes and throw out old ones. They say this is a new life, so the couple need new clothes.
On the wedding night, the man dresses in white clothes and a long cover called a Bisht, and the woman dresses in white. At the end of the wedding, the man goes with his father and relatives to his marriage room and sits to drink some coffee for a few minutes. Then they leave.
Then the woman comes with her mother and relatives and do the same thing. This removes the stress of the man and the woman, so they are together to start a new life. The morning after the wedding, the man gives a gift to his wife.When the bride and groom start walking to the wedding cake, all the wedding guests move out of the way and look in anticipation at the bride and groom. Then the groom holds the bride's hand carefully and together they hold the knife. After they cut a small piece of the cake, the groom holds the piece of cake and the bride eats a bit of it. After that the bride holds that piece of cake and lets the groom bite another bit of the piece. Then the attendants start cheering and clapping for them. The cutting of the cake symbolizes that the couple have started taking care of each other and looking after each other

Story from My childhood





I grew up in a small house with four brothers and four sisters. My dad was working in air forces I admire him. My mom was teacher. One day, when I was perhaps 10 or 12 years old, I was troublemaker especially when I play soccer with my cousins. During my childhood I had two friends one of them older than me and second one younger. I like them so much because they were a part of my team .one day I was very depressed because my friends moving out to other city , but my depression was so severe that I actually prayed to die. Sometime after I had gone to bed, I woke to find myself cry that's time I believed friendship very important.

The right age to get married




The right time to marry is different for each person and unique to each situation. Maturity levels and life experience are varying factors; some people are ready for marriage at 18, and some are never prepared for it. Marriage is not only a commitment, but is a covenant with God. It is the promise to remain with that other person for the remainder of your life, no matter if your partner is rich, poor, healthy, sick, overweight, underweight. Most people are thinking marriage is very important for sexual just, but the marriage its mean new life and more organize for all life.

A Special Gift You Have Given OR Received




I went to my friend birthday party last week. Lots of people gifts, and regular gifts, but the gift that really stood out was the watch his cousins gave him pocket watch engraved with an expression the name and birthday used to share. The birthday was teary, the mother was teary, and the friend had to leave the room for a couple of minutes. What was the best gift you've given, or received, or seen given? That's the best I've seen. My most memorable gift received was a good tennis racket when I was 16, totally unexpected .I would never have asked for something that expensive and totally appreciated! The most recent best gift was the laptop that my father gave me.

My favorite food





Saudi Arabia's food is a reflection of the country's history and its people's customs, religion and ways of life. I like Saudi food I used to have "KABSAH". I will tell you something about my favorite food in my country, when I lived at home I usually had a delicious meal all the time. My mother makes the food called Kasbah which is rice, meat, and potatoes. It has a good smell and taste. In Saudi Arabia we have some good food, but now my favorite food is pizza and hamburgers for dinner. My favorite food in the morning is eggs, bread, cheese, and cornflakes with milk. Sometimes on the weekend I like to eat BBQ. But I still Miss Saudi Arabian food every day. I will always remember my mother’s food as long as I live.
