This issue is the 50th issue of Destination Jeddah – a milestone which seemed to be a mirage five years ago! What an enjoyable experience this has been. Jeddah has witnessed growth in not only population, but also inspiring businesses, parks, restaurants, art galleries, musical talents…the list is endless. Along with this growth has come a realization of the rights and responsibilities which residents have towards their beloved city. Whether it was tackling Jeddah’s issues, cleaning up the Corniche, or winning an entry in the Guiness Book of Records, Jeddahwis have exhibited great courage and spirit. I’m also proud to announce that March 2013 will also herald the launch of Destination Riyadh. This new monthly magazine will endeavor to supply the residents of Riyadh with all the news and reviews of the original Destination Jeddah, but targeted for the Riyadh customer, of course. Please spread the word to your friends and family to welcome our latest initiative.
