Bio: The authors of Jeddah for Kids are an expat mom duo. We met in Jeddah and became quick friends with a common passion for exploring all Jeddah has to offer our children. However, we found that finding information about kid-friendly activities was difficult. We decided to do something about it. We started a blog, so we could record our experiences at the venues we visit and publish details like hours of operation and contact info that we know other parents would find useful. That's how Jeddah for Kids was born. We hope our posts are helpful and inspire you to get out for some fun with your little ones!
Dear jeddahforkids,
My name is Joyce and I work for ExpatFinder.com.
ExpatFinder.com is a free one stop website for people preparing to move or working and living overseas. We provide a myriad of services for expatriates and we have over 2,000 articles to help and support the people moving around the world and we are now creating an interview section to help the expats with real life experiences!
We quite enjoy your blog about living in Saudi Arabia, it is very interesting and informative. Would it be possible to interview you to further share some of your tips and feature some of your first hand experience as an Expat and your interview will be published on our Expat Interview section as a guide for our expat readers. The questions are mainly about the day to day lifestyle of an expat. If it would be possible, could you also send some photographs that we can use?
Of course, if you accept, we can add a link to your blog or some of your website.
The questions are enclosed, feel free to respond freely. You can return the doc with your answers if you accept this invitation.
Thanks in advance and do let me know if you prefer other means to conduct this interview and we would be happy to accommodate your terms.
Best regards,
Joyce

Hello Noora–There is no Gymboree in Jeddah. The best that we can offer is a play center like Snowy Forest in either Red Sea Mall or Jamea Plaza. They both have infant/toddler areas. Also there is a sand play area in the food court of Red Sea Mall that many younger kids enjoy. Village Tots playgroup runs once a week (you can google our article on that).
