Saudi Arabia: Historic Jeddah

On Tuesday I got two postcards: my first card from Saudi Arabia and one from Germany.

Saudi Arabia is a country in Western Asia constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula and bordering on Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen. It is the World's second largest oil producer and the largest economy in the Middle East. It is a member of the United Nations and the G20. Riyadh is the country's capital. 

The card shows a view of Historic Jeddah. Jeddah is the commercial centre of Saudi Arabia, the country's second largest city and a global city. It is also the principal gateway to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. Historic Jeddah is since 2014 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Stamp:
Caves of Saudi Arabia (from set of six) (issued 09-2019)

Thank You very much Gert!
